Tan Brown Granite

Finishes

Polished: A natural stone finish of high-gloss, attained by machinery processing the stone surface through a series of grinding and buffing techniques.

Honed: A natural stone finish with a look of satin, attained by machinery processing the stone surface through a series of buffing techniques. A honed surface provides a flat, matte of satin finish creating a more informal and softer look. This finish is created by stopping short of the last stage of polishing. A honed finish shows fewer scratches, and requires very little maintenance.

Leather: Leather finish begins with a honed surface worked with diamond brushes. The process brings back the color and closes pores, making the stone denser. Leathering has a nice sheen and is less porous than a honed finish.

Brushed / Antique: A natural stone finish with a look of satin, and a feel of undulation to the touch. A brushed finish features a worn-down look achieved by machinery brushing the surface of the stone, simulating natural wear overtime.

Flamed: A natural stone finish that is rougher to the touch with a feel of granularity. A flamed finish is achieved by heating the surface of the stone to extreme temperatures, followed by rapid cooling. The stones surface will pop and chip leaving a rough, unrefined texture. This process is usually done with granite material. Flamed granite has a highly textured surface, making it ideal for areas where slip resistance might be a concern, like shower areas, exterior / interior walkways, and stairs.

Sandblast: Sandblasting is a finish created by very high pressure air and sand, directed at the face of the stone to create a textured surface. Sandblasting lightens the color of the stone significantly to provide contrast against a polished finish, providing excellent slip resistance. The mixture of polished and sandblashting gives any project a contrasting look, without changing stone colors.
