Tables and finishes sawn diamond Surface finish obtained by the swan process with a Diamond stirps gang saw, it looks fine. It is not a specified finish but a natural surface.

Tables and finishes polished The polished is a bright and smooth finish, with zero porosity, and stand out the structure, colour and texture of the stone. This finish makes the stone too much resistance to external agents, also it is possible to apply protective treatments. The pore is never completely closed, but with the polish finish can be minimized.this finish is usually applied to marble and granite, because there are compact and with a high crystallinity. The polish finish is obtained by abrasion processing until the stone becomes bright.

Tables and finishes bush-hammered The stone present small crater 1-3 mm depth and width uniform along all the surface of the stone, and usually ligthen the natural colour of the stone. The hole size depend on the tools used, the strong and number of hits.there are many kinds of tools that produce a soft bushhammered or a harder one. The bushhammered is one of the most traditional finishig. Nowadays there are hammer automatic machines to process big surfaces.

Tables and finishes sandblasted This finish is achieved by a rough surface and homogeneous, with small cavities uniformly distributed. The end effect is achieved by striking the surface of the stone with silica sand or corundum, by an air jet. Depending on the pressure with which it is applied, will achieve a more or less deep dots. It is a finish similar to granulated, varying the method used. It applies to all natural stones.

Tables and finishes honed Finish makes the stone flat, smooth and matt, without any spot or scretch, the colour is darker than other finishing except the polished one, and stand out the structure, colour and texture of the stone. This finish used to be applied when stone can not be polished, as limestone or sandstone with a low grade of crystallinity. The honed is the first step previous to the polished.this finish used to be applied in compact and hard stones by abrasion processing as the polished.

Tables and finishes aged Treatment to be applied in sanded surfaces, with abrasion processing using different kind of brushes (impregnated abrasive substances) to get the final texture of the stone. The result get after the process is a uniform surface with a small rough and satiny texture similar to a bushhamered aged over the time. This treatment increase the stability of the surface to atmospheric chemical alteration.
