03 / Finishes & edges

One stone, many characters

The same block can be mirror-polished for a kitchen or flamed for a pool deck. Choose the surface and the edge, and we cut and finish to your drawings.

Almost every stone can be supplied polished, honed, flamed, leathered, sandblasted, bush-hammered or tumbled. Some combinations suit some stones better than others (flaming, for example, is a granite finish), so tell us the stone and the space and we will recommend the right one.
