Irregular, imperfect and discontinuous, this texture has a weave that is simultaneously coarse and clean, decisively material to the touch. This effect is achieved with a threephase treatment, which, after the rough hewing of the slab, almost "sculpts" the stone with the bush hammering, creating very tiny cracks, which are then cleaned again with highpressure water jets. The stone thus takes on a more decisive colour and a more consistent grain.

Surface area worked upon to obtain a 3D effect. The small, continuous and regular reliefs are what distinguish the brocade. These slight depressions are obtained by sandblasting, followed by light brushing, which deliberately leaves residues on the surface area. Despite having an "orange peel" texture, it does not have a coarse effect, resulting, on the contrary, in a pleasantly smooth surface.

Coarse, almost sharp, the strength of hemp is in its marked materiality. The texture is rough and grainy, while the weave is achieved with a fine point roller, which vertically scores the surface area of the stone.

Slightly rippled, this texture is smooth to the touch. The surface area is undulating, almost crumpled, but extremely clean, and smooth in the weave. After the rough hewing and bush hammering (with nozzles), the slabs are finally brushed and it is the latter treatment that gives the stone the "naturally" wavy texture, reminiscent of cotton.

Shiny-opaque: the beautiful effect of the damask seems to create a second skin on the surface of the stone, which becomes more luminous, a somewhat cold but vivid colour with slight bordering on metallic nuances. Deliberately imperfect, the micro porous weave is achieved by means of mechanical micro sandblasting.

As highly valued as the material whose name it bears, this texture is designed for interiors with its essential, elegant and contemporary lines. Undulating but nevertheless extremely smooth and insubstantial to the touch, the surface area is the result of special work on the slabs, which are first rough hewn mechanically and then brushed to remove any imperfections from the stone.

Treatment which makes the slab’s surface perfectly smooth and even, maintaining a high degree of opaqueness, characteristic of this material. Polishing is effected by passing the slabs under rotating tools with abrasive tips, which, with the aid of water, “wear down” the stone. Slabs treated in such a way can be used for both indoor flooring and external cladding.

Polished finish
Architonic id 1183768
-
Treatment similar to polishing, using the same machinery. However, in this case, the abrasives used are more aggressive, and therefore do not produce a completely even surface, but slightly undulated, giving the effect of an aged material.

Thermal treatment, obtained by passing a high-temperature flame over the slab. The result is a rough and vitreous surface, produced by the effect of the flame. This treatment is indicated for external cladding, or floors subjected to much tread.

Flamed finish

Treatment which produces a similar surface to that of the rough material; the surface obtained is rough and sculpted, and hence particularly suitable for outdoor use. This surface is obtained using a bushhammer, a tool with pyramidal tips, moved manually or mechanically.

Traditional treatment used both indoors and outdoors, from which a rough surface is obtained. Dressing can be carried out manually or mechanically through means of a tool with a comb-tooth blade.

This surface treatment can be effected on both rough and semi-dressed elements, and also on slabs. It involves incising lines of varying widths and depths according to the end use.

Grooved finish

-
Pressure treatment, obtained by mechanically projecting at high pressure and speed an abrasive mixture of sand or other hard material. The surface obtained is rough but without being sharp or particularly uneven. Used predominantly on slabs for façade cladding, this treatment may also be used for cleaning existing slabs, and for removing encrustation.

Sandblasted finish
Architonic id 1183777
-
Treatment which gives the surface a slightly rough finish, obtained thanks to a cut made with a diamond tool equipped with a blade or disc. The type of cut may produce a slight undulation on the plane, which is not perfectly even. The slabs dressed in this way can be used for indoor flooring and outdoor paving.
