| Different Types of Surface Finishes -Polished. Most common finish. Surface is smooth and not very porous. -Honed. Flat to low sheen gloss. Very smooth but also very porous. Not as vibrant as polished stone. -Textured/Brushed. A rough surface is developed through intense heat and is then smoothed out with an antiquing brush. |
Choosing your Color You may choose your stone color at either our showroom or at one of our suppliers. However, if you are just starting out and would just like to look at some samples you may visit our showroom or simply go online. When looking at samples you will notice that some colors have a more consistent or repetitive pattern while others will have more color variation and a "flowing" pattern or some "movement" to them. We highly recommend that the colors that have more movement to them be viewed at one of our suppliers so that you may see the whole slab. |
| Slab Selection We encourage most customers to go and pick out their slabs. Especially those with a lot of variation in color and movement. Because no two slabs are exactly the same, it is important to us to know that you have hand picked your slabs. |
