Keeping this is mind, below are the details of the finishes we offer -
The process of leather finish leaves the stone with a silky texture, often described as a “pebbly” feel. High quality equipment is used to achieve this surface type to get a matte & undulating texture. A leather finish blocks the pores which makes the colours of the stone stand out. While a leathered finish does not have a reflective finish, it does enhance the natural qualities of the natural stone, with a non-uniform structure.
The unique tactile quality of leathered marble makes it a popular choice, where its subtle texture adds an extra layer of sophistication. The finish also provides enhanced slip resistance, making it suitable for flooring applications in areas where a slip-resistant surface is desired, such as bathrooms or entryways. Leathered marble's ability to mask fingerprints, and minor scratches makes it a practical choice for high-traffic areas.
A glossy finish will come with an ultra-smooth, shiny appearance. It's also very colour rich and vibrant. Maximum number of marble is sold in this finish. It is a popular choice for applications where a luxurious and elegant appearance is desired. The high-gloss sheen of this marble finish brings a sense of opulence to various architectural and design elements. One common use is for flooring, where it creates a stunning visual impact, particularly in foyers, hallways, and grand lobby.
Honed marble finish, characterized by its smooth, satin matte appearance, is a versatile option that finds applications across various design styles. Unlike polished marble, the honed finish is less reflective, making it a preferred choice for those who appreciate a more subdued and natural aesthetic. Honed finish is also frequently employed for bathroom vanities, shower walls, and flooring, offering a sophisticated look that complements both modern and traditional designs.
The matte surface helps to conceal scratches and wear, making it a practical choice for high-traffic areas. In addition, honed marble is often used for wall cladding & decorative elements, allowing its timeless appeal to enhance various architectural features. The versatility and subtle beauty of honed marble make it a popular selection for those seeking a refined yet unpretentious finish in their interior space.
Hydro finish is the innovative technology used to process the surfaces of different materials with a high-pressure water jet. Unlike the cutting, in this application the jet of water has a lower pressure, but a broader range. Water finishing is suitable for marble and for yellow stones where a colour change is not desirable. Water-finished surfaces may be brushed to give a smoother velvety finish
A surface treatment that involves propelling fine bits of abrasive material at high velocity to etch or texture the surface of the marble. This process creates a matte and slightly rough texture, giving the marble a distinctive appearance. The sandblast finish is often characterized by a softened, weathered look, making it suitable for various design applications.
The sandblasted marble finish's ability to combine aesthetic appeal with practical benefits, such as slip resistance and durability, makes it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor design applications. The finish adds a distinctive touch to architectural elements, making spaces visually engaging and unique.
The River Washed finish is a unique finish. It is deeper than brushing and done at a much slower rate to create unique gorges and canyons that are defined by the characteristics of natural stone.
