What are the different types of surface finishes that you manufacturing and exporting?
We are supplying almost all surface finishes for the international market like:
- Natural Cleft: Commonly found in slate, sandstone, limestone etc. In this case the bottom side of the tile is usually calibrated or sawn for easier installation.
- Rock Face: This finish involves splitting the stone to mimic the look of exposed rock, giving it a rough, natural appearance while maintaining uniform dimensions, commonly found in basalt, porphyry, granite (small sizes), slate, sandstone etc.
- Honed: This finish is smooth but not glossy. It has a matte or semi-polished sort of look, provides a subtle, non-reflective surface, commonly found in sandstone, slate stone, granites etc.
- Polished: This finish gives shiny and reflective look to the stone surface, giving the stone a smooth, glossy appearance. The level of shine can vary depending on the type of stone commonly found in marble, granite, quartzites, we are the leading suppliers of Brown Fantasy Granite 3 cm thick Polished slabs for the USA market.
- Brushed: The surface is brushed with a wired abrasive brush to give a gentle, weathered texture.
- Shot Blasted: The surface is blasted with high-pressure with bullet shots of different sizes to create a subtle, uniform texture without a lot of depth.
- Sandblasted: The stone is blasted with sand, creating a fine, even texture that’s slightly rough but not overly coarse.
- Bush Hammered: The stone is hammered with a tool to create a coarse, rough surface with deep, uniform indentations. Commonly found in the Indian basalt.
- Tumbled: Stone is tumbled in a machine called tumbler, which rounds the edges and creates a worn, antique look.
- Flamed: The stone surface is heated to high temperatures by using a flame torch. This process creates a rugged, uneven texture with a rough feel. Commonly found in the granites, basalt, limestone and sandstones. It's ideal for areas that need to be slip-resistant, like pool decks, walkways, or driveways, outdoor walls or facades, Stairs and Slopes. flamed surface provides good grip and traction to the walker.
- Hydro: The water blast or hydro finish on stone is a finishing technique that uses high-pressure water jets to clean, texture, and shape the surface of the stone. In this process the stone doesn’t change its natural color.
- Lapatro: A lapatro finish (sometimes called lapatto finish) is a specific type of stone finish that is known for its smooth yet slightly reflective surface, offering a semi-gloss appearance. It is achieved through a polishing process that gives the stone a subtle sheen without the high shine of a fully polished finish. In market some specific lapatro abrasives are available by which we can achieve this finish.
- Antique: In this surface the flamed + brushing is applied then we get the antiqued finish stone.
