FINISHES
The different techniques and mechanical treatments applied allow us to provide our clients with a wide variety of finished, therefore multiplying use possibilities.
A smooth, completely smooth and flat, showing the true colours of materials, without the shine and detailing of the polished finish. The honed finish is very cosy and comfortable..
Produced through the stone from exposure to high temperatures, it should be noted that not all materials blaze. The flamed finish is flat enough for paving, while admitting variations in relief on its surface and present a face composed of layers or “chips”.
A shiny surface that enhances the complete coloring of the material, as well as its specific characteristics (the grain, the shafts, etc). Completely flat and, this finish conveys feelings of nobility and refinement and reveals all the beauty and strength of natural stone.
The blasted finish is non-slip and especially suitable for floors and claddings. Rough surface, The blasted material is sufficiently flat and used for paving.
The finish sandblasting is anti-slip, and semi-wrinkled, sufficiently flat and well suited for paving. comparatively, this finish is less rough than the blasted and rougher to the touch than the brushed.
Finish appearance 100% natural obtained by cleavage with specific made manually or by pneumatic tools cleavers give a very rough irregular and more or less depending on the aspect rock texture in question.
The surface of this finish is not smooth to the touch and, however, more than enough flat and suitable for paving. Although not totally anti-slip, sawn material creates the comparatively friction than the material polished or finished honed.
The scratched finish is one of the most expensive options in terms of finishes, However, It provides a unique effect stone, this solution also requires more time to production.
The waterjet finish as the name implies is obtained from a jet of water, This can be adjusted as needed., thus achieving the various levels of roughness.
PORTFOLIO
Each project is unique and deserves permanent, full monitoring. From the moment of choosing the product to their shipment the customer enjoys the know-how and extensive experience of our team.
