Polished finish shines! The majority of finishes is polished. Polishing enhances the color and markings of natural stone and adds a terrific luster and sheen. This finish will keep and stay beautiful for decades.

Honed is a matte finish. The flat look is achieved with brushes and specialized tools to remove all sheen but retain a smooth surface. Some materials can show marks more easily in a honed finish and staining can be more common. Care should be provided in daily use and with cleaning products to preserve this unique surface.

Leathered has actual tactile texture to its surface. Brushes and specialized tools are used to create rivets and pits that rough the surface of the slab. Leathered finish surfaces work particularly well in outdoor areas for a truly rustic look and feel.

A caressed finish combines the soft texture of a leathered or honed surface with a subtle polished sheen for a rich, refined feel. In this finish, the high points of the stone are gently polished, creating areas of higher sheen that enhance the natural movement, depth, and character of the material. The result is a smooth, touchable surface that’s both elegant and durable, ideal for those seeking a sophisticated, organic look.

A satin finish on stone offers a smooth, soft-touch surface with a gentle sheen that falls between polished and honed. It enhances the stone’s natural color and texture without the high gloss of a polished finish. Satin finishes are ideal for homeowners who want a modern, refined look with subtle light reflection and added surface durability.

A flame finish is created by exposing the stone surface to intense heat, causing the crystals to burst and leaving a textured, slip-resistant surface. This treatment enhances the natural color variations of the stone while giving it a rugged, organic look. Flame finishing is especially valued for outdoor applications such as patios, walkways, and exterior cladding, where both beauty and durability are essential.
