Azul Lagoa
Directly from Alentejo, further south of Portugal, there is the Azul Lagoa marble. Considered one of the marbles with a high degree of hardness, the Azul Lagoa presents greyish tones of medium grain and distinct dark veins. It may present whitish areas that end up marking a great contrast in the stone, distinguishing it from other types of international marbles.
Finishings
Sandblasted
Blasting silica sand against the material through an air gun and generates very small craters.
Honed
A soft finish is identical to the polished finish, the surface is smooth but without glare or light reflections.
Polished
Abrasive treatments with repeated applications result in a shiny surface, highlights the colour and properties of the natural stone.
Sawn
Rough and irregular surface with small furrows and undulations in a mate tone.
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.
Leather
Brushing the slab with a range of brushes and the result is a slightly undulating surface, very soft, warm and smooth to the touch.
Brushed
Abrasive brushes under high pressure generate a touch-sensitive and smooth surface of natural stone.
Scratched
Scratched finish is applied so that the surface exhibits a texture with straight reliefs and natural colours.
