The Common 14 Different Granite Stone Surface Treatment in Construction Indoor and Outdoor Projects
In construction projects, granite is commonly used for wall tiles and floor coverings in high-end architectural decoration projects, hall floors, and other areas.
To showcase the beauty of granite and the ingenuity of architects, there are a variety of surface processing methods available. Here are 14 different granite surface treatments that can be used in construction building indoor and outdoor projects:
The most welcome 5 Surface Finished of Granite Stone:
Machine Cut: This involves cutting the granite directly with circular saws, sand saws, or bridge cutters. The surface is rough with visible machine-cut lines.
Honed Surface: A matte surface that is less polished with resin abrasives. Its luminosity is generally around 30-50, 60, making it less reflective than polished surfaces. The surface is flat and smooth, with a very low gloss.
Polished Surface: Also known as a mirror surface, this treatment involves polishing the flat surface with resin abrasives to create a reflective, mirror-like luster.
Flamed Surface: This surface is created by processing the stone with a high-temperature flame generated by acetylene, oxygen, propane, oxygen, or petroleum-liquefied gas and oxygen. The resulting surface is rough and natural, non-reflective, fast to process, and relatively inexpensive.
Bush-Hammered Surface: This kind of Surface is knocked onto the stone surface with a hammer-shaped lychee skin to create a rough surface. There are two types of bush-hammering: machine and manual.
Special 5 Granite Tiles Surface:
Chiseled Surface: Also known as chopping ax surface, this surface is created by using a flat hammer to strike the surface of the stone alternately to form a rough surface resembling the appearance of longan skin. Like bush-hammering, it can be done manually or with a machine.
Flamed + Brush Surface: This surface is created by first burning the stone with fire to create a burnt surface and then brushing it with a steel brush 3-6 times to form an antique surface. This is a time-consuming and expensive process.
Rough-Picked Surface: This surface is created by hammering the surface of the stone with a chisel and a hammer to form a pineapple-like surface.
Mushroom Surface: This surface is created by striking the surface of the stone with a chisel and a hammer to create a plank-shaped surface resembling undulating mountains.
Natural Cleft Surface: This surface is created by splitting a piece of stone in half with a hammer to form an uneven surface like nature.
11: Grooved Surface: This surface involves making grooves of a certain depth and width on the surface of the stone.
12: Sandblasted Surface: Instead of using high-pressure water, this surface is created by washing the stone with ordinary river sand or corundum to form a flat decorative surface with a frosted effect.
13: Water-Jet Surface: This involves using high-pressure water to directly impact the surface of the stone, peeling off the softer components to create a unique rough surface decoration effect.
14: Pickling Face: This surface is created by using strong acid to corrode the stone surface, leaving small corrosion marks and a rustic appearance.
In conclusion, granite is a versatile building material that can be treated in various ways to achieve different surface finishes. Architects and designers can choose the appropriate surface treatment to showcase the unique beauty and characteristics of the stone in indoor and outdoor construction projects.
