Finishings

Polished

Abrasive treatments with repeated applications result in a shiny surface, highlights the colour and properties of the natural stone.

Honed

A honed finish is identical to the polished finish, the surface is smooth but without glare or light reflections.

Brushed

Abrasive brushes under high pressure generate a touch-sensitive and smooth surface of natural stone.

Bushammered

Hitting the material, with a masonry tool called a bush hammer, that generates uniformly distributed craters of different sizes over the surface of natural stone.

Scratched

Scratched finish is applied so that the surface exhibits a texture with straight reliefs and natural colours.

Sawn

Rough and irregular surface with small furrows and undulations in a mate tone.

Sandblasted

Blasting silica sand against the material through an air gun and generates very small craters.

Flamed

Exposing the surface of the stone directly to a high-temperature flame that generates a thin roughness.

Splitted

Splitting stone either by hand or by machine so that the surface exhibits a natural quarry texture.
