Architectural Metal Finishing

Metal begins
as potential.

We transform raw material into architectural presence. Highly specialised finishes that make metal feel intentional, considered, and entirely resolved.

"We exist for architects, designers and builders who understand that surface is not secondary. It is the statement."

At Finishes Factory we transform raw material into architectural presence. We create elevation, definition and dimension through highly specialised hand-applied and engineered finishes designed to make metal feel intentional, unique and considered.

From rich patinas and blackened steel to orbital brushed stainless, bead blasted textures and liquid metal coatings, we bring plain steel to life through craft, precision and scale.

This is where industrial capability meets architectural design. This is Finishes Factory.

Our Belief

Surface is not
secondary. It is
the statement.

The most considered spaces are not assembled from separate decisions. They are built from a single vision held to the end. Finishes Factory exists at that intersection, where industrial capability meets the architectural imagination of those who refuse to settle.

What We Do

Specialist metal finishing.

Our core is the finish. Hand-applied, engineered and considered, our finishing capability is the reason architects and designers seek us out. Everything else we offer exists to support, and protect, the standard of that work.

Core

Specialist Finishing

The finish is where metal becomes something more. Our specialist capability spans the full spectrum: hand-applied patinas, blackened and chemically treated steel, orbital stainless, bead blasted matte textures, liquid metal coatings, wax and polished treatments, and bespoke finishes developed specifically for each project. Every surface is treated as a singular decision, applied with precision and craft.

How We Work With You

Three ways to engage.

Whether you arrive with a complete brief or a blank page, we have a way of working that fits. Choose the level of involvement that suits your project and your team.

01

The Full Process

For clients who want a single point of responsibility across the entire scope. We engage from the first design conversation, develop the finish specification alongside your team, manage fabrication and construction, and deliver through to on-site installation and completion. One standard, held from beginning to end.

02

Finishing Your Design

You have the design. We bring the finish. For architects, interior designers and fit-out teams who arrive with a resolved brief and a clear vision, we align directly with your design intent and execute the finishing scope to the highest possible standard. Collaborative, precise and entirely focused on your outcome.

Custom Solutions

Some projects require a finish that does not exist yet. Our bespoke development process works from your brief outward: exploring material, process and scale until we arrive at a surface that is entirely original. For projects where the finish is the centrepiece, not the afterthought.

Material Library

Request a Sample

Touch is how a finish is understood. Our sample library represents the breadth of our capability, each piece hand-produced to the same standard as a live project. Request samples below, or contact us to arrange a studio visit.

Patina

A living surface. Rich oxidised tones that deepen with time. No two patinas are identical.

Request sample →

Blackened Steel

Deep and absorptive. Chemically blackened steel that holds the light rather than reflecting it.

Request sample →

Orbital

Directional texture applied with mechanical precision. Transforms a surface across the arc of a day.

Request sample →

Bead Blast

Refined uniformity through controlled abrasion. A matte, tactile surface of quiet confidence.

Request sample →

Liquid Metal

Metal in its most elemental form, applied as a coating. A surface that carries the weight of real material.

Request sample →

Wax and Polish

A warm, hands-on finish that rewards proximity. Luminosity that grows with handling.

Request sample →

Specialty Patina

Bespoke patina treatments developed in direct collaboration with each client and their specific project intent.

Request sample →

Bespoke

If the finish does not exist in our library, we develop it. Bespoke finish development for projects of genuine ambition.

Studio Visits

Experience our material library in person. We welcome visits to our studio by appointment. Bring your brief, your samples, and your questions.

Sample Dispatch

Bespoke Development

If the finish you need does not exist in our current library, we can develop it for projects of appropriate scale and ambition.

Residential and Exterior

The outside world, considered.

The finish does not stop at the threshold. Finishes Factory works across residential exteriors, landscape architecture and outdoor installations where metal meets the elements and still needs to be beautiful.

Corten steel, patinated bronze and specialist exterior coatings that age with intention, developing character rather than deteriorating.
