Brushed Surface Finish

Marble is a unique stone to work with. It can be used to create a classic, historical elegance while also being seen as chic and modern in newer home designs. How do you want your marble to look when your project is complete, and how high-traffic is the area you are placing the stone in? The answers to these questions will determine what marble finish you should choose.

Natural Stone Finishing Varieties

The unlimited material options are also driving designers and Architects stretch their imaginations to the highest level of creating something fresh and novel. They are designing beautiful spaces wedded to functionality, and there is an increased emphasis on the fact that the end product should also make a statement about the personality of the people who are going to occupy these spaces. 

Customer Personal Preferences

Though every customer has personal preferences when it comes to choosing marble, granite, quartzite or other natural stones yet they can be broadly divided into two categories. There are customers who would like their countertop look impeccable and “forever young”. This group generally goes for a shiny finish because shiny surfaces look lively and sharper. The other group believes that natural aging has a unique charm, elegance and beauty, and this group generally chooses a honed – no shine – or other textured finishes which are termed leathered, brushed or antique. This group is not limited to using granites only.

They are open to using quartzite, marbles, soapstone and limestones because a small scratch or blemish here and there does not bother them.

Textured Finishes

The terms brushed, leathered and antique are different trade names given to very similar type of textured finish. As far as response to staining due to absorption of liquids is concerned all these finishes – polished, honed, brushed or leathered – respond the same way as long as the surface is sealed with a high quality professional sealer.

Brushed Marble

For those looking for a textured marble that stands up immaculately to wear, brushed may be the best option. As the name implies, brushed marble is a textured finish created by brushing the stone with hard nylon or steel. This finish is visually appealing and causes the marble to become resistant to scratches and marks.

Brushing Payment

Brushing is done, as the name suggests, by brushing the stone with steel or hard nylon brushes. It leaves a lightly textured surface that tends to be more resilient to scratches and marks. It works particularly well on limestone and some sandstones and can also be applied effectively to tumbled marble.  As we notice a growing trend for textured finishes, we have added to our inventory few colors that are available in a brushed finish.
