Finishes
SABTA Granite has such a vast selection of unique natural stones that it may be overwhelming to select just one. Choosing your stone is only the first part of your selection process, because you must also decide which stone finish is best suited for your project. Each finish gives the stone a one-of-a-kind quality with unique character and flavor. It is important to know the differences between them. Take a look below to learn more about just some of the stone finishes we offer.
POLISHED :
Stone with a polished finish features a reflective and glossy appearance with a smooth texture. This type of finish is most popular for kitchen and bathroom vanity countertops, with granite, marble, and quartzite being popular choices. With proper care and the correct cleaning products, polished stones are fairly easy to clean and maintain.
HONED :
Honed stone finish is a softer and velvet-like version of the polished finish. In this finishing process, stone is buffed to a satin-like finish. Honed stone presents a matte finish compared to the shiny or glossy appearance of a polish finish. The surface is smooth to the touch, but has more of a dull texture.
LEATHERED :
Leathered finish is a process where the slab is treated with a range of brushes on the surface. This is a way to texturize the stone, achieving a smooth, leather-like texture, which is ideal for those projects that require a softer aesthetic.
