Natural Stone Flooring: Polished, Honed and Brushed Finishes

How surface finish changes appearance, grip and upkeep of stone floors.

The same stone can look and feel very different depending on its surface finish.

Polished

A mirror-like gloss that deepens colour. It suits dry interior areas but can be slippery when wet.

Honed

A smooth matte surface with soft reflection. It hides minor wear better than polished stone.

Brushed and textured

Brushed, flamed and bush-hammered surfaces add texture and grip and suit outdoor and wet areas.

Choose by use

Match finish to room, traffic and local slip-resistance rules, and approve a sample in the actual lighting.
