FINISHES
Stone Finishes
Polished
| Stones have different finishes or surface textures according to their formation. But these days, stones are fabricated to give desired surface textures. There are seven main types of surfaces that are in use: | |
 |
Polished: Polished surface texture is a reflection of polished crystals that bring out the brilliant colors and grains of natural stones. The shine on stone surface comes from polishing bricks and powders used during fabrication and not from any coating. Polishing can be done only on crystallized stones and doesn't affect the porosity of the stone. Polished finish is quite popular as it enhances the colour and markings of the material. A stone with a polished finish is very smooth and reflective. This type of finish is used in reception areas, where marble, granite and some harder limestones are laid. The most popular uses of polished stone are in interior and exterior wall cladding, interior and exterior paving, fireplace facing and hearth, lavatory tops, residential & commercial countertops, table tops, novelty items, many non-architectural uses such as tooth paste, paint whiting, agricultural lime, etc. |
Bush Hammered Bush Hammered A pounding action that develops a textured surface. 
Flamed Flamed is a rough surface that is developed due to the bursting of crystals when the stone is heated. 
Rock Surface Rock face surface stone are widely used for garden, road decoration, firm decorating effect. 
Sawn Sawn surface is coarsely polished leaving a semi-smooth, regular finish. It is done by using a gang saw. 
Brushed Surface or Leather Finish Brushed finish is obtained by applying hard plastic or metal brushes to the stone surface. 
Sand Blasted Sand Blasted Producing a finish similar to cleft, sand blasting involves projecting a high-pressure airline coarse-grained grit, onto the top surface of the stone. 
Polished Polished surface texture is a reflection of polished crystals that bring out the brilliant colors and grains of natural stones. 
Honed Honed is produced by grinding a surface with high grit material to a uniform specification, without producing a reflective surface. 
Natural The natural surface texture is achieved by ripping along its line of cleavage to reveal the natural grain & texture, which gives an undulating surface with great character.
