Finishes

Swan surface

 

The sawn surface is the result of the simple cutting of the block on which the signs of the tools used for sawing can still be present.

Flamed and brushed

 

The flamed and brushed is the effect of the treatment after flaming. The result is an orange peel surface that is soft to the touch and less angular. Chromatically there is a slight accenting of the colors compared to the only flame.

Fiammatura



Flamed

The flaming is obtained by heat treatment of the surface followed by immediate cooling, which causes it to crumble to a minimum thickness, creating the characteristic rough and micro-angular surface. It is a finish that enhances the chromaticity of the material, highlighting its characteristics

Polishing

 

Polishing is obtained by passing on the surface of decreasing grit wheels until a mirror-like translucent appearance is obtained.
The surface takes on darker and more charged tones.

Effetto lucido



Honed

 

The semi-polishing is obtained by passing a series of wheels until an opaque translucent appearance is obtained.
With the semi-polishing, the surface becomes darker and more charged.

Effetto semilucido



Brushing

 

Brushing is achieved by using brushes that give the surface an orange-tactile texture sensation.
The more you brush, the more the surface tends to darken.

Spazzolatura



Machine bush hammered

 

The bush hammered rotor is made by a mechanical rotating plate, equipped with sharp points.
The effect is a minute and disordered pitting.

Hand bush hammered

 

The bush hammered by hand is performed using a special hammer with a dowel pin applied. The effect is a geometric succession of dots.
It is a traditional process where the manual percussive action of the stonemason expresses its ability.

Antiqued by hand

 

The antiquing is the result of an accented random flaming and subsequent brushing.
The final effect recalls the surfaces of the ancient artifacts on which the signs of past time and wear are imprinted.

Antiqued J

 

The antiquing J is the result of an accented random flaming and subsequent brushing.
The final effect recalls the surfaces of the ancient artifacts on which the signs of past time and wear are imprinted; compared to the hand-aged it is darker and softer, more regular.

Twist

 

New finish obtained by micro-blistering of the surface and subsequent light brushing.
The result is a texture of the surface soft to the touch.

Natural Split

 

The natural split working is obtained by removing the sawn stone with a scaping tool. The surface obtained is irregular, with very marked roughness.

Spacco



Flex Surface

 

The flex surface is obtained through a dry finishing process of rubbing the surface with special discs that make it homogeneous and uniform.
The finish is characterized by a variety of microgrooves, resulting from the grain of the disk and the direction applied.
