Wood Finishes
Natural warmth with the practicality of steel

Use them to soften contemporary forms, create contrast against masonry or concrete, or introduce natural-looking detail without relying on conventional timber cladding.

Charred Timber, Beechwood
Copper Finishes
Warmth, depth and evolving character

Zinc Finishes
The quiet character of aged metal
Subtle tonal variation and a softly weathered appearance give zinc-inspired finishes a refined architectural presence.
Designed for projects that call for a restrained, contemporary material palette, these finishes can complement concrete, glass, masonry and natural timber without overpowering the surrounding design.
