Finishes Types :
- Flamed Finish
- Leather Finish
- Lapotara Finish
- Honed Finish
Flamed Finish:
A Flamed finish is produced when an intense flame is fired at the stone, causing the surface to burst and become rough. This finish is used primarily for exteriors applications where slip-resistance is extremely important.
Leather Finish:
A leathered finish is a newer style that is gaining more traction in the design world. It features a soft sheen that is less than polished granite but includes a textured appearance. The stone’s subtle, dimple-like texture is achieved when diamond -tipped brushes are run on top of honed granite.
Lapotara Finish:
The word Lappato has been derived from some Italian words. To produce Lappato finish, granite surface is first grinded by using an abrasive and all the polish on the granite surface is removed. Next, scratches on granite are removed by using more stone abrasives. This finish is a combination of matt and gloss, less reflective and has a granular worn-out but highly elegant look. The surface is non slippery and easy to Clean.
Honed Finish
A honed finish is gaining in popularity, especially for contemporary spaces. It features a smooth premium surface with no bumps but without the polished reflection. Granite gets its satin or matte appearance when the finishing process is stopped just before the slab becomes buffed, and darker granite colors will result in a lighter or more grayed look.
