Polishing & finishing
An automatic line brings each slab to polished, honed, matt or leathered.
Slabs run through an automatic line where a series of heads grinds and polishes the surface step by step, from coarse to fine. Polishing is what wakes up the colour: the apricot, sage and lilac only show their depth on a finished surface.
The same line produces the other finishes. Stopping at a finer grit gives honed or matt; brushing gives a leathered texture. You choose the finish when you order; every slab on this site is shown polished.

Why it matters
Polishing and surface finishing
Finish changes how a stone feels in a room. Polished reads richest and most colourful; honed and matt are calmer and show fewer marks underfoot; leathered adds a soft texture you can feel. If you are unsure, ask us for finish samples before you order.
The full process
More steps
STEP 04Quality inspection
Every slab is checked, measured, photographed and numbered before it is offered.
STEP 05Tile dry-lay
Cut tiles are laid out in sequence on the floor, so the pattern flows.
STEP 06Project layout
Vanity tops, skirting, sills and trims cut to your drawing and checked together.
STEP 01Block selection
Every slab starts as a numbered block, chosen for colour and soundness.
STEP 02Resin & mesh reinforcement
Resin fills natural pores and fine fissures; fibreglass mesh strengthens the back.
