While marbles and granites are often ground and polished to a high gloss, many types of marble are too soft for this process. In most cases, marble will be honed or ground to a flat or matte finish in Beauty Point. Honed marble has an almost chalky appearance to it, with little to no sheen.
There are, however, several other marble finishes available in Beauty Point. The processes and finishing applied can mean that a completely different look and effect can be achieved.
Different finishes are better suited to certain environments, situations, and tastes. SawnFor marble in Beauty Point, one common finish is Sawn, which results in a comparatively rough surface. The natural stone is sawn without any other processes such as honing, tumbling, or flaming, and the saw marks are likely to be visible.
PolishedA smooth and reflective surface which brings out the full color and character of the marble. Less slip-resistant and generally reserved for indoor areas such as hotel receptions, tabletops, etc. Increasingly finer abrasives are used after the honing stage, and the stone is buffed to a high gloss.
Antiqued/Tumbled
Antiqued/Tumbled: Tumbling is a common technique that distresses the edges and surface of marble by vibrating the stone in a bath of sand, grit, and sometimes acid. The result is a finish that looks aged and worn.
HonedThis method is a less aggressive approach than grinding, although similar. Marble is ground and sanded using coarse grit abrasives to create a smooth but satin, non-reflective finish—a satin-smooth surface with little or no gloss.
GroundA very aggressive approach to refinishing marble. It uses a metal-bonded and diamond grit heavy weighted floor buffer to remove deep scratches and lippage. The goal is to flatten the floor and smooth out imperfections, often followed by honing and polishing.
BrushedSteel or hard nylon brushes are used with water to brush and wear out softer parts of the marble, creating a textured finish. Provides an antique look to the stone.
SandblastedA textured surface is created as sand is blasted at high pressure. The process often lightens the marble and masks its character by hiding the veins and fossils within the stone. Shot-blasting is a similar process.
Bush-Hammered
A high anti-slip finish can be achieved using this technique, where a bush hammer is applied by machine or hand at high impact to pit the surface of the marble.
ChiselledLines are mechanically chiselled into the marble to create an anti-slip finish.
