Explore existing finishes and patterns to gain inspiration.  Many take advantage of the metal substrate allowing the reflective surface to show through.  Layers of brushing, changes in gloss levels or the addition of printed texture add visual and tactile interest. The possibilities for customization with color and scale are wide open. This quick video showcases some of the most popular finishes and structures from our [pattern library](https://www.norcorp.com/design/pattern-library). Enjoy!
