About the Finish
Our Black finish is a popular choice in traditional settings, it has a subtle sheen and offers a bold contrast on both stained and painted timber alike. It is baked in a high-temperature oven giving it durable corrosion resistant properties. This finish is extremely low maintenance and perfect for use in bathrooms, kitchens or externally where damper environmental conditions are expected.
Our External Beeswax is unique to From the Anvil and is manufactured from an anti-corrosive beeswax. It has a matt richness and like our standard beeswax, the depth of colour ranges from blue to deep red ochre. An extremely natural finish and a far softer alternative to a black powder coated finish.
Our Pewter Patina finish is forged from a durable base of steel and is a fine example of how our unique manufacturing techniques add further detail to the natural charm of metals. The process by which the contrasting textures of this finish are created results in a rich appearance that sits well in characterful, rustic homes but also offers a contemporary alterative in more modern settings. Our Pewter products are complemented by natural materials such as oak or looks equally as good against many paint colours.

For any minor scratches that may occur with general wear and tear of your product, we offer a durable ‘Black Touch Up Paint’ (73101) if required.
Although this finish already offers a very strong barrier against environmental conditions, we recommend re-applying a small amount of our Maintenance Wax (33002) periodically with a cloth or brush which provides additional protection to the surface of your product and further protects this from any harmful external elements. Regular oiling of all moving parts using our ‘3-in-1 Oil’ (92337) is beneficial to the longevity of products. This process is also highly recommended during initial installation.
