After the stone is cut into slabs honed granite is processed just like standard high gloss granite except.
This flame fractures crystals on the face leaving a rough textured finish.

Spacer bar that creates a consistent sand joint.
Thermal rough to the touch this finish showcases the stone s sparkling crystals against a lightened background.
Each step has a thermal top finish to provide added traction for a non skid surface.
The thermal finish is produced by applying a high temperature flame to the surface of the stone.
Highly skid resistant this finish is an excellent choice for walking surfaces.
Flamed granite this is heated to high temperatures to cause the individual grains present in the stone to burst and change colors.
