appearance to natural stone. After grinding and sanding, it involves buffing the

Granite Kitchen Countertops or Granite Bar tops in Montreal as it adds a perfect
value to the crystallized stone. Polished finishes are commonly found residential as
well as commercial places in Montreal.
Why Choose Polished Finish?
From forever, polish finishing has been the choice of a large group of people for
its striking, sparkling and marvellous looks which outshine the eyes of the
onlookers with its full of glow and glistening glamour.

What is Honed Finish?
Honed is a matte form of finish stone. It removes the reflective shine of the stone
and leaves a smooth, flat, consistent, non-shiny and porous surface.
It is the most suitable form of stone finish for marble bathroom countertops, marble
bar tops, marble fireplaces, marble floorings, marble staircase and marble kitchen
countertops in Montreal. Aside from Marble, it is also recommended for granite and
quartzite.
Why Choose Honed Finish?
Honed is the new trendy finish for natural stone. In contrast to Polish which is
slippery and reflective in nature; it is an unpolished and natural-looking finish.
It is preferred for all the places which receive heavy traffic such as floors,
countertops, tabletops etc.

Flamed Finish
What is Flamed Finish?
Also called Thermal Finish. A flamed finish is achieved when the stone is exposed to
an intense fire which causes it to burst and become rough. It peels away the layers
of the stone and exposes the inner beauty of the stone to create a textured look.
Flamed Finish is mostly used for heat-resistant material such as granite or hard
limestone.
Why Choose Flamed Finish?
Flamed Finish is, typically, used for the areas that most prone to dampness such as
outdoor, patio, deck or even shower floor or base. If you are a fan of rusty or
brownish natural complementing to the environment texture, Flamed Finish is also an
attractive texture for outdoor kitchen, places inside the sink, bathroom floorings
etc.

Leathered Finish
What is Leathered Finish?
Leathered finish is the new and enriched form of Matte Finish. Taking honed finish
for natural stones a step ahead, leathered is a perfect substitute for a perfect and
protected finishing of the surfaces of the countertops.
The leathered finish’s subtle surface appears when honed finish is brushed with the
diamond-tipped brushes. It is recommended to use for the darker natural shades of
the stone.
Why Choose Leathered Finish?
It is a combination of unpolished appearance of honed finish and vivid texture looks
of polished finishing. As of Honed Finish, it goes best with Marble, Granite and
Quartzite. It retains the natural colour of the stone as well as enhances the
texture of the stone.
