Texturing Options

Polish

A polished surface is glossy and highly reflective. Granite is especially receptive to this high-gloss, mirror-like surface because of its makeup. Quartz, feldspar, and mica polish up easily, hold the polish well, and reflect light.

Hone

Honing produces a smooth, flat matte finish and mutes the color of the stone some. Honed granite is a non-reflective, satiny finish. Matte on natural stone surfaces creates a softer feel in your granite countertop.

Texture

There are several types of rough finishes. You’ll hear terms like leathered, brushed, antiqued and caressed to describe these finishes. The use of these names has not been standardized within the industry. We can vary the depth of the texture and the amount of gloss. The amount of texture produced varies from stone to stone. Different levels of sheen and relief appear depending on the hardness of the minerals in the matrix of the stone. Most rough surfaces are used in outdoor applications. However, some of the finishes (leathered, brushed, antiqued) are beautiful within the home (hearths, tables). They lend a certain patina to your design that suits both modern and classic designs.
