Mockups & Samples
Approve the real thing before we build fifty of it.
Finishes are approved on wood, not on screens. Metro produces finish sample sets in the actual species, stain and sheen — and full first-article mockups for repeated or high-stakes elements — before production runs.
What this stage covers
- Finish samples sprayed in our booth on project-actual species
- Side-by-side stain and sheen options for designer sign-off
- First-article mockups of repeated units before the production run
- In-place mockups on site where the architect requires them
- Documented approvals attached to the submittal record
What you get
Zero finish surprises at install — the approval trail proves what was agreed.
Questions
How many sample rounds are included?
We carry a defined sample allowance per contract and keep iterating within it until the designer signs — changes after approval become documented change orders.
