An alternative to flaming that produces a rough face while preserving the stone color. A diamond brush head is used to impact the face of the stone so unlike flaming, you aren’t jeopardizing the integrity of your panel with this finish and can still preserve the ornamental potential.

Parallel grooves sawn across the face of the stone to put ridges in the face of the stone. The width of the groove and the ridge are usually deeper and wider than a tooled finish.

A rough granite finish that highlights the sparkling crystals of granite. A method consisting of torching the stone face followed by water cooling to shock the minerals in the stone. Flamed panels are typically used in flooring and exterior applications. The stone veneer needs to be thicker to handle the stress fractures caused by the thermal shock.

A smooth, reflective finish. The polished stone finish brings out the rich colors of the stone and enhances natural pattern and veining. It shows off the depth and beauty of the natural stone. This finish reduces the porosity of the Stone Lamina panel... making it more resistant to staining. Polished stone is not recommended for outdoor flooring as there is minimal slip resistance.

A smooth and non-reflective finish. The honed texture reduces the vibrant color found in a polished stone leaving you with a warm, but slightly dull finish. The variations in the stone are still visible in this aesthetically pleasing selection. A popular choice for flooring and wall accents.

This texture is achieved by blasting the face of the stone with sand through an air gun. It produces a rough finish lighter in color than the polished finish. The stone is left with very small craters in the surface resulting in a silky, matte appearance but without the coarse and sharp protrusions of other textures.

A rustic finish achieved by applying an acid bath to the stone face. When used on softer selections like marble, travertine, limestone, or sandstone, the chemical process etches away heavily at the porous stone, resulting in a beautiful, antiqued appearance. Slight changes are noted on granite but they are minimal in comparison.

An uneven, smooth and “soft” surface created by brushing the surface. The hard areas remain while the softer areas are removed. This technique is only effective on marble and limestone with variations in hardness usually created by veining.

Any pattern or texture is possible using Stone Lamina‘s high-end CNC and waterjet machines.
