Natural stone is a very eclectic material that allows many finishes, textures and shades. Explore the possibilities and select the finish that best suits your taste and project. Surface finishing is more than an aesthetic issue.

The first choice has to do with the type of stone, considering the technical characteristics for each surface and then chose the finish and the desired shade. You may want flamed and feel the texture of the stone or you may opt for a more polished and smooth look. The stone we choose and the treatment we give it has a huge impact on the way spaces are designed.

If you want a customizable surface, natural stone is the perfect element. You can carve limestone into any shape imaginable, or etch marble with ornate and imaginative designs.

You can choose from a wide variety of finishes, each with unique characteristics that adapt to the desired style. Some finishes accentuate the natural beauty of the stone, making it an aesthetic element in its own right, while other finishes are more functional, helping the specific use of each space.
