Finishes
Polish finish
Polishing can be done only on crystallized stones. A polished finish doesn’t affect the porosity of the stone. A polished finish is quite popular as it enhances the color and markings of the material. Polished finishes are reflective. A stone with a polished finish is a very smooth and reflective.
This type of finish is used in reception areas, where marble, granite and some harder limestone are laid. The most popular uses of polish stone are in: interior and exterior wall cladding, interior and exterior paving, Kitchen / Lavatory tops, Residential & Commercial counter tops, table tops.
Honed Finish
Honed finishes unlike polished finishes are not reflective. The honed finish is a satin smooth surface with little light reflection.
This finish is often used on walking surfaces and other areas where heavy traffic would wear off a polished finish. Honed finishes are used in interior wall covering. It can also used on the exterior in warm environments, Lavatory / Table tops and for residential flooring.
Flamed Finish
The flamed finish is a rough texture used frequently on floor tiles and vertical applications. Color and
particulate or vein patterns vary from block to block. Blocks are usually quarried in sizes 100 x 60x60
inches.
The major uses are for exterior applications like flooring, pool deck. One of the characteristics is anti-slip texture.
Saw cut finishes
Saw cut has acquired its name owing to the saw cuts that are made on the surface of stone. When the stones are broken free of the cut layer they are shaped to uniform size.
Saw cut finish offers complimentary accent to other types of stone work. It is generally used for walls, gate entries, patios, landscape design applications.
Each stone and therefore each floor are unique in character and variation must be expected. All tile / slab sizes and thickness are an approximation only and all tiles and slabs will vary in color, tone, markings and texture from those shown in the website / brochure or from samples received.
