Granite: a hard surface igneous rock formation of visibility crystalline texture formed essentially of quartz and orthoclise or microcline. The characteristics are firmness and endurance. The typical finishes for granite are:

  • Polished (glossy surface which brings out the full color and character of the granite),
  • Honed (a satin smooth surface with little or no gloss), and
  • Thermal or Flamed (rough surface produced by application of high temperature flame to the surface).

Other Finishes:

Sand Blasted: matte textured surface finish with no gloss; finished by application of a steady flow of sand and water pressure.

 Bush-Hammered: a mechanical process which produces textured surface; textures vary from subtle to rough.
