Polished
This smooth and shiny effect brings out the natural colors, as its specific characteristics (veins, grain, others). It creates a completely suave surface, slippery when in contact with water.
Honed
Smooth finish, soft and flat, not shiny with a less pronounced contrast between elements. Highlights the true color of the material without the brightness of the Polished finish.
Bush-hammered
This non-skid and rough finish is especially suitable for flooring and external cladding. It slightly cancels out the color of the materials.
Brushed
Non-skid, not smooth to the touch but is fully suitable for paving.
Semi-rough surface and proportionately softer than the sandblasted finishing. Reveals more of the original color of the material.
Sandblasted
Non-skid and semi-rugged, flat enough and also well suited for paving. This finishing is less rough than Brush-Hammered and more irregular to the touch than Brushed. It reveals the original color of the material.
Flamed
Produced from the exposure of stone to high temperatures, it is not possible to apply to all materials.
It is flat enough for paving, but with variations in relief, with a rough and wavy appearance. It produces unique effects and non-slip surfaces. Suitable for thicknesses greater than 2.0 cm, has greater use in outdoor areas.
