The finish of granite and its uses are important topics for those interested in utilizing this material in various projects. Granite can have various finishes, depending on the desired appearance and use.

  1. Polished: This finish gives a shiny and smooth surface, which enhances the natural colors and patterns of the granite. It is ideal for kitchen and bathroom countertops.
  2. Leather (Honed): The leather finish has a smooth but non-glossy surface. It is suitable for areas that require less sheen, such as floors and bathrooms.
  3. Flamed: This finish is created by applying heat to the granite surface, making it rougher and non-slip. It is often used in outdoor spaces and areas with increased humidity, such as around swimming pools.
  4. Brushed: The brushed finish has a slightly rough surface, offering a more natural and rustic effect. It is ideal for decorative walls and surfaces.
