The surface is brilliant and shiny with a mirror effect.
The process of polishing is by repeated application of abrasive treatments.
Polished tiles are used for interiors as well as bench top and counter top, but it is not suggested for outdoor since it reduces slip resistance.
Honed finishing is the most common process for sandstone.
A honed finish refers to any level that is less than polished and therefore the surface is smooth but dull or slightly reflective.
In areas with a lot of foot traffic, floor tiles are often honed and not polished.
"Leathering" is the process of texturing to appear less glossy. A leather finish is obtained by a process of brushing the slab with a range of brushes. The result is a slightly undulating surface, very soft, warm and smooth to the touch. Leathering starts with a honed surface and adds texture. Additionally, it closes the pores of the stone (compared to honing) and retains the color better than honing.
This treatment removes saw marks and achieves a surface with fine, sometimes almost invisible circular marks.
The tile looks slightly scratched but feels nice when touched.
The colors are a bit dull.
This type of finish is usually applied to sandstone and is one of the finishes you can choose for exterior.
This finish is achieved by exposing the surface of the stone directly to a high temperature flame. The heat acts by blowing the crystals out as they suffer thermal shock, with an effect that is particularly evident in materials composed of minerals with various degrees of expansion. The resulting surface is rough, non-slip and generally faded in color, thereby hiding defects and tone variations.
By brushing, the original surface (honed, shot blasted, flamed) is made smoother by using abrasive brushes under high pressure.
After this treatment, the colours of the natural stone become more vivid once again.
The surface looks slightly rough, depending on the original finish.
A diamond teeth mill grinder is applied perpendicularly to the surface, to achieve the typical flat profile. A chiseled finish is created, as the name implies, by breaking a stone with a hammer and chisel. Depending on the type of chisel used and skill level of the person using it, this can provide a very rough surface or a slightly irregular finish.
The natural finish is basically the absence of treatment.
The stone is sold as extracted from the quarry, once cut into the desired format. The final look depends entirely on the characteristics of the stone and its exploitation.
