What are the different finishes for the travertine and marble ?
There are many different finishes for travertine and marble. Typically, we finish stone in honed, polished, patinato (antiqued) finishes. Honed is more of a matte look finish – not polished or high honed. Polished has a shiny appearance to it. Patinato is actually finished with acid washing then brushing the stone with metal brushes and the appearance is bumpier and it adds a slight patina on the surface of the stone. It gives the stone a very old world look but it can be a bit slippery when wet.
