This finish is created by sanding the stone .. The result is a smooth but dull appearance that shows the “life” with in the stone. A honed finish refers to any level that is less than polished and therefore encompasses many levels of dullness.

A brushed effect is obtained by brushing the material surface mechanically or by hand with a specific multi-pointed tool. This method creates a smooth but textured surface, while enhancing the  colour of the stone.Typically used where slipping around pools or other areas where there is a “slip” hazard.

A polished finish is created when a stone surface reaches it’s most refined state. It is sanded and then buffed to the highest level possible, and the results are either a high shine or the actual highest level of shine that can be achieved naturally providing it with a pinnacle depth of colour.

In sandblasting, a high-pressure jet of siliceous sand or steel shots is applied to the area to be treated. This treatment produces a smooth abrasion, leaving the material with a slightly scratched (but not rugged) surface. The colour tones and the veins are slightly dulled.

A bush hammer is a specialized stone-working hammer with a head that resembles a meat tenderizing hammer, it takes a long time to apply this finish to a large surface area. The result leaves the surface of the stone fairly smooth with small indentations. This finish can be applied to nearly all stones.

The tumbled finish is applied with a vibrating mix of decompossed granite and ceramic beads.  The result is a smooth, weathered and worn look and texture.  It is typically applied to Limestone.  Size restrictions apply.
