Finishes
A Finish for Every Vision
Finishing is at the heart of what we do. Driven by precision, experience, and an uncompromising attention to detail, we work with carefully selected materials to achieve flawless results. Every finish is a reflection of our commitment to quality—starting with the integrity of the materials we choose. These are the foundation of our products and the reason our finishes stand apart: authentic, consistent, and built to last.
Finish with Purpose - Plating
Plating is efficient, cost-effective, and widely used—for good reason. But not every environment calls for it.
For fixtures exposed to scratching risk—such as inground or marine applications—hand polishing delivers greater durability and a richer, more authentic finish, especially when recreating antique looks.
For fixed downlights, installed out of reach in the ceiling, plating offers a reliable, practical solution.
We choose finishes based on how and where your light will live. Because the right finish starts with understanding the application.
Anodising: The Premium Finish for Aluminium
Anodising is exclusive to aluminium—and for good reason. Its exceptional durability and UV stability make it an ideal choice for exterior applications, protecting the light frame against weathering over time. However, care should be taken to avoid exposure to acidic materials such as mortar or saline environments.
While highly durable, anodised surfaces can be susceptible to corrosion if scratched. Our team is available to advise on the most suitable finish for your specific application.
Compared to plating or powder coating, anodising offers a distinctly premium finish. It delivers a range of authentic aesthetics, faithfully replicating the look and feel of the materials it evokes.
Powder Coating: Precision Color, Architectural Durability
Powder coating is the ideal choice when precise color matching is required. Suitable for a range of substrates—including steel, copper, and aluminium—it delivers a durable architectural finish suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
For exterior use, particularly in saline environments, the selection of appropriate metals and, in some cases, additional treatment processes is essential. Our team can advise on the most suitable finishing method for your specific application.
Powder coating performs particularly well on uplights and wall lights, where its durability and resistance to scratching ensure lasting performance.
Wet Spray: Where Character Takes Form
Less durable than powder coating, yes—but also capable of finishes powder coating simply cannot replicate. Aged copper. Wet bronze. Rust. These are the textures that define wet spray’s unique contribution.
This technique has given rise to some of our most compelling new finishes—specialty rusts and verdigris patinas included. Each carries the organic beauty of natural oxidation, yet none of its fragility. Authentic in appearance, reliable in performance.
Special Finishes: Authentic Aesthetics, Unlimited Possibilities
Our special finishes are achieved through a range of advanced processes, enabling us to replicate virtually any desired surface—including natural aesthetics such as rust, concrete, limestone, and sandstone.
In addition, we offer a comprehensive colour-matching service. Simply provide a sample swatch of your desired colour or finish, and we will match it with precision.
