Finishing of natural stone

Antico - Antique

Original, in-house finish of our own that gives the natural stone an aged effect as if the tile has already been used intensively for many years.

Brossato

This finish softens the natural roughness of the natural stone, emphasising its intense colours. Pleasant to touch or walk on.

Diamond cut - Sawn only

Pure, untreated finish for the slab or tile the way it looks after the natural stone block has been sawn. The type of saw determines whether parallel grooves or circular marks can be seen. Mainly used for outdoor applications.

Bouchardino

This finish lends the natural stone a fine, bush hammered surface with uneven irregularities. This brings out extra colour accents and nuances in the stone. It is smooth to the touch, with an anti-slip effect.

Bush hammered

Working the surface with a pointed hammer creates uneven irregularities in the structure of the tile. Feels rather rough, with an anti-slip effect.

Polished

The shiniest and smoothest finish by far, which presents the colours, veins and fossil structures at their most visible and intense. A mirror effect is created in dark shades.

Hand honed

Scouring the natural stone considerably reduces the traces of sawing. The result is an even surface. Suitable for outdoor applications.

Flamed

The temperature shock after flaming the tile leads to natural cracking on the surface. This gives the natural stone a rough texture. Ideal for outdoor applications thanks to its anti-slip
properties.

Heritage

The natural ageing process is perfectly imitated with this special finish.

Natural Cleft

The untreated, rough surface of certain natural stone types gives attractive results.

Satino

Honed

The surface of the natural stone is scoured until a warm, matt shine is obtained. The grain used for scouring determines the result obtained. Suitable for countless interior applications.

Cleft
