Limestone surface finishes

HONED: This finish ensures a smooth matte surface for interior and exterior floors. This surface finish is suitable for internal and external flooring, cladding, columns, balustrades, stairs, and other architectural profiles.

BRUSHED: This finish is vital for having an embossed antique surface. It offers a feeling of comfort and warmth. It is also good for many applications such as flooring, wall cladding, stairs, architectural profiles, and columns.

TUMBLED: This finish type looks very different than honed or polished finishes. The best part of this finish is that it makes the surface slightly chalky and dusty-looking with muted colors. It doesn’t remove any sort of protective finish from the stone surface.

NATURAL: The natural finish means the absence of treatment. The natural stone seller sells a stone in the natural finish after extracting it from the quarry. This finish makes the stone an unprocessed surface look. This finish type is good for cladding and cobblestones.
