Slab surface finish & machine suggestion

1.Polished

The surface is very smooth, highly polished, has a mirror effect and high gloss. Granite, marble and limestone are usually polished and require different maintenance to maintain their gloss.

Machine recommendation:

Automatic polishing machine：

Manual polishing machine:

2. Machine-Cut

It is directly cut and shaped by equipment such as disc saw sand saw or bridge cutting machine, the surface is rough, with obvious machine-cutting lines.

Machine recommendation:

Block cutters/block saw machine:

Infrared bridge cutting machine(bridge cutter/ bridge saw):

3.Bushhammered

The surface is rough and uneven, and small holes are dugout on the surface with a chisel, which has the effect of imitating water droplets dripping on the stone over the years.

Machine recommendation:

Bush hammer machine

4.Flamed

Rough surface. This kind of surface is mainly used in interiors such as floors or as the finish of commercial buildings, and the labor cost is high. After heating at a high temperature, it is quickly cooled to form a burnt surface. The burnt surface is generally granite.

Machine recommendation:

Flaming machine(fire finish)

5.Nature Split

Commonly known as natural surface, its surface is rough, but not as rough as flamed. This surface treatment is usually cut by hand or pierced in the mine to expose the natural cracked surface of the stone.

Machine recommendation:

Splitting machine

6.Tumbled

The surface is smooth or slightly rough, and the corners are smooth and broken. There are several ways to achieve a tumbling effect. 20mm bricks can be tumbled in the machine, 3cm bricks can also be tumbled and then split into two bricks. Marble and limestone are the materials of the first choice for tumble processing.

Machine recommendation:

Tumbling machine

7.Brushed

The surface is old. The process is to scrub the surface of the stone, imitating the natural abrasion effect of the stone.

Machine recommendation:

Bush hammer machine with brush disc

8.Antique

Surface processing that imitates the ancient effect of stone after used a certain number of years, it is generally treated with antique abrasive brushes or antique water. Generally, antique abrasive brushes are more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Machine recommendation:

Bush hammer machine with brushers

9.Flamed + Brushed

Flamed first and then do antique processing.

Machine recommendation:

Flaming machine+Bush hammer machine

10.Mushroom Stone

Generally, it is cut by hand. The effect is similar to that of natural cutting, but the natural surface of the stone is a plateau-like shape with a depression around the middle protrusion.

Machine recommendation:

Mushroom face splitting machine

11.  Edge Grinding
