Focusing on lifestyle is innovating in Finishes
Natural Stone Finishes
Polished
a.k.a Shinny. It continues to be the most demanded finishing for marbles and decorative stones. Polished finish enhances the full color of materials as well as their specific characteristics (veining, grain, ecc). We can simply polish or resin & polish, color fill & polish besides transparent fill & polish.
see applicationsHoned
a.k.a Matt. Often the preferred finish for limestones or simply to get “a touch of that softness”. Honed finish highlights the full color of materials while keeping them matte, not shinny. We carry out different honing grades and we can also resin & hone, color fill & hone, as well as transparent fill & hone.
see applicationsBrushed
a.k.a Leather, Rustic. An elegant delabré-chic surface quite popular amongst prescribers around the world. We can brush stones with different intensities and try out different outcomes. With a brushed finish materials keep their color and structure but in a slightly faded tone.
see applicationsSanded (mechanical) and Sandblasted (manual)
A contemporary soft-rough finish with anti-slipping properties. Sand finishes will blanch the material color and homogenize its variation as well as fade stones’ characteristics such as veins, fossils, ecc. We can apply sandblasted finish on specific areas of a given piece, which is an option of design infinite possibilities. From a regular “striped sandblasted shower tray” to the most amazing projects, a world for imagination.
see applicationsBush Hammered & Brushed
Comparatively to the sanded & brushed, the bush hammered & brushed texture will go one step further in roughness and intensity. Also a great choice.
see applicationsSanded & Brushed
One of the favored textures for a quite soft-rough delabré-elegant outcome. To achieve this combined finish stones will first be sanded and then brushed on top, everything made with just the right parameters of our expertise.
see applicationsBush Hammered
Probably the rough finish with most tradition and a reliable option for anti-slipping solutions. Hammered texture will blanch material color and homogenize its variation as well as diminish the materials’ veins, fossils, ecc.
see applicationsFlamed
The look obtained with flamed materials is often a layer-cleaved beautiful effect. Not all stones will flame, which scores this anti-slipping finish as an exceptional uncommon choice.
see applicationsFlamed & Brushed
A great alliance between the exceptional, unexpected flamed finish with the softness and elegancy of brushing the surface on top of that. It is important to keep in mind that whilst the known natural stones will brush, a few stones will flame.
see applicationsRiverwashed
One of the greatest options for a ‘just-enough non-shivering finish’ that smoothly fades the color of the materials. Particularly superb on decorative veined marbles with different abrasion levels within the stone itself.
see applicationsCombed
What’s not to love about a combed finish?! It whitens and dulls the color of materials, homogenizing them, whilst bringing forth a powerful striped roughed surface full of architectural and design potential. The space between combing lines is unlimited, also with infinite outcomes and fashion.
see applicationsLined Split-Face
It should be as simple as a combed finish split-faced in between the lines… but skill and practice are always the issue on natural stone products and finishes. The space between split-faced lines will determine a Fine split-face or a larger one, but, with us, the choice is yours to make.
see applicationsSawn
Sawn finish is the less expensive one and a good choice for exteriors, contemporaneous interior and elegant-industrial-looks.
see applicationsNatural Cleft
The natural finish on slate materials that we often make available and supply in projects on their own natural cleft surface. Nevertheless, slates can take other finishes such as honed and others.
see applicationsFinishes in Composite Material
Polished
a.k.a. Shinny and sophisticated. A finish that highlights the chromatic hues and nuances of the material, bringing out the beauty of the pattern and giving it a refined look. Precision mechanical processing polishes the surface to a perfectly uniform finish, allowing it to reflect light.
see applicationsSatin
a.k.a. Sleek and elegant. A "pre-polished" finish with an astonishingly realistic look that enhances the depth and naturalness of the material. The colouring is softened in tone, almost as if veiled. It reveals its maximum aesthetic splendour in marble effects where it can also be defined as eggshell.
see applicationsSilk
a.k.a. Delicate and matt. This finish is characterised by an extremely matt, non-reflective surface, without any mirrored reflections. It is particularly soft to the touch, while still maintaining all the technical characteristics that make it perfect for kitchen countertops and furnishing elements. Used mainly for marble looks, it features the subtle irregularities typical of natural stone.
see applicationsMatte
a.k.a. Unpolished and soft. This finish is characterised by a smooth surface and is ideal for flooring uses that require superior technical performance.
see applicationsGrip
a.k.a. Non-Slip. An anti-slip finish with low roughness. Adequate for outdoors and others.
see applicationsHammered
a.k.a. Sanded and natural. A finish that produces a slightly corrugated surface, creating an appearance that resembles the natural material. Slabs have a chiselled, unpolished look, with a slightly irregular surface.
see applicationsLeathered
a.k.a Brushed. A finish with the natural appearance of leather and a wavy look, its surface is soft and pleasant.
see applicationsStrutturatto or Outdoor
a.k.a. Textured. A non slip finishing with texture and roughness.

Take the challenge and design your own texture. Finishing stone is a world of infinite possibilities. Some of the surfaces that are now taken for granted were once invented and made possible because of an architects’ idea and our factory’s determination. Take the challenge: tell us your concept and we will gladly assist you.
