Choose a finish around the proposed component

Hairline and Brushed references help describe directional grain. Mirror focuses on reflection; Bead Blasted and Vibration offer different surface textures. Embossed, Etched, Hammered and Water Ripple introduce distinct pattern or relief directions, while Antique and Laminate have their own appearance and construction requirements.

Use a reference image and code to explain the desired appearance. Then review visible faces, edges, joints and the intended environment with the component drawings. A selection reference does not establish a fixed product SKU, material grade, sheet thickness or tested performance.
