Product Information
POLISHED:
The Most popular finish - One side is Finished by the action of the Abrasives on polishing head, gives a mirror finish on Granite, and diminishing in the reflective properties, as we go from Granite to marble and slate etc.
HONED:
A smooth but unpolished finish, produced by using a less number of
abrasives on a polishing head - leading to smooth but Non-reflective
surface. Honing a polished
material opens up the pore making it more susceptible to staining than
the same material in a polished finish
HAND SPLIT OR CLEFT:
A traditional treatment in which the stone is split along its line of
cleavage to open the same at the natural grain; thereby giving a surface
with great character.
GRIT OR SAND BLASTED:
The action of coarse-grained grits, blasted onto the top surface of the
stone, with the help of water, produces a natural finish similar to hand
split or cleft.
LEATHER:
This
finish adds texture to the surface. Additionally, it closes the pores
(compared to honing) and retains the color better than honing. While a
leathered finish has a sheen to it, it is no where near as reflective as
a polished surface. A good analogy would be that a leathered finish is
like a matte finish on a photograph whereas a polished surface is like a
glossy photograph. Please note that the amount of texture will vary from
stone to stone and some stones will not leather (especially extremely
uniform materials). Leathering is preferred to honing for blacks and
other very dark materials. For example the amount of texture on Absolute
Black is minimal and very fine grained, and the finish is much more
uniform than honing Absolute Black. Leathering starts with a honed
surface and adds texture
