Natural stone is quarried from around the world and each piece shows unique character. The extraction site can affect color and composition, but How the stone is finished will also affect its final appearance. Some finishes can intensify natural color, others can soften the color.
Surface finishing also dictates functional characteristics such as durability and slip- resistance. This will determine the appropriate use and placement of a particular product. Polished stone is best for internal flooring, cladding and bench- tops whereas flamed finish provides good slip resistance is ideal for external areas.
