Materials guide

Make every visible finish work harder.

A practical starting point for substrates, surfaces, hardware and the details that affect use over time.Explore this page

Specify the system, not just the surface

A finish should be considered together with its substrate, edge, hardware, use and maintenance context.

Match core materials to application, exposure, span and expected use rather than one blanket specification.

Compare texture, gloss, colour consistency, fingerprints, repair expectations and edge treatment.

Select hinges, runners and mechanisms around load, frequency of use and movement quality.

Resolve junctions and finishing details early because they shape both appearance and durability.
