What are my Natural Stone surface texture choices?
Honed A flat to low sheen gloss. Different levels of gloss can be selected. This surface is smooth, but often is very porous. This texture is common in high traffic buildings. Honed stone colors are not as vibrant as polished stone. Polished – A glossy surface that wears away with time due to heavy foot traffic and using improper maintenance procedures. This surface is very smooth and is not very porous. The shine comes from the natural reflection of the stones crystal. Flamed – A rough surface that is developed through intense heat. During fabrication, the stone is heated up and the crystals begin to pop, thus forming a rough surface. Tumbled – A slightly rough texture that is achieved by tumbling small pieces of marble, limestone and sometimes granite to achieve a worn appearance. Sand Blasted – This surface is the result of a pressurized flow of sand and water that provides a glossy texture. Sawn – A coarsely polished finish achieved by using a gang saw.
