STONE TEXTURES AND FINISHES

NATURAL CLEFT / HAND SPLIT

This finish reveals the inner composition of the stone in an inconsistent pattern. It is achieved by evenly hammering the the stone’s surface with a hammer head. Depending on the pressure and shape of the hammer head various surface textures such as, grooved, eroded, scoured, worn, can be produced. Bush hammering is obtained by hitting the stone surface mechanically or by hand with a specific multi pointed tool. This method creates a rugged surface full of little grazes at the impact points, and it modifies the color, making it lighter. The surface becomes non-slip. This technique has been replaced by flaming and shot blasting finishing because these are faster and less costly. We have exported lots of containers of bush hammered finish granites,slate stone, sandstone, kota stone and tandur stone to European countries. So if you are dealing with project of bush hammered surface, please contact with us, you will find it worthful. Surface of Indian Granites, Slate Stone, Quartzite, Sandstone and Limestone can be made invbush-hammered finish.

FLAMED

This finish exposes the inner composition of the stone in a regular but coarse pattern. It is achieved by blasting the stone’s surface with pressurized sand jet. Highly coarse to fine sand can be used to achieve a varied level of consistent matte finish.By applying the sand blasting on the surface of the stone, the surface becomes non-slippery. Sandblasting is a process in which coarse-grained sand, blasted on the top surface of the stone, with the help of air compressor, it produces a natural finish surface which is smoother than the cleft surface. Sandblasted surface is mainly used for the areas in which we require engraved patterns or boarders like in landscaping, flooring, wall cladding etc. We have exported lots of containers of sand blast finish granites, sandstone, quartzite, kota stone and tandur stone to European countries. So if you are dealing with project of sand blast surface, please contact with us, you will find it worthful. Surface of Indian Granites, Quartzite, Sandstone and Limestone can be made in sand-blast finish

HONED

It is mainly done on sandstone surface, by applying the shot blasting on the surface of the sandstone, the surface becomes perfectly non-slippery. Shot blasting is a process in which the small steel shots are being used and blasted on the surface of the stone to get the desired results. Shot blasted surface give more depth while we feel the surface of the stone in comparison to sand-blast surface. We have exported lots of containers of shot-blasted sandstone, kota stone and tandur stone to European countries. So if you are dealing with project of shot blast surface, please contact with us, you will find it worthful. Surface of Indian Quartzite, Sandstone and Limestone can be made in shot-blast finish.

BUSH HAMMERED

This finish draws out the vibrant shades and colors of the various crystalline substances that make up the stone. It is achieved by evenly grinding and further polishing the stone’s surface with special bricks and super-fine abrasives. A varying level of polishing tools and techniques are used to create glossy to mirror-like glossy surfaces. This is the most popular surface finish in which one side is polished by the action of the Abrasives fitted in on polishing heads, it gives a mirror like surface finish on Granite, Marble &Quartzite slabs. Polished surface is highly reflective and the least porous. Glad to tell that our company can give you Both Sides Polished Granite Slabs also in extra thickness of 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm , 8 cm, 10 cm…. The process of polishing – The Polishing Process starts from the stage of grinding on the rough slabs, rough slabs comes from Gang Saws. The grinding is performed on the rough slabs to calibrate / maintain the thickness of the slabs. Grinding of rough slabs being done at computerized Line Polishers and by grinding we prepare the slabs for resin application and polishing. After grinding, the grinded / calibrated slabs are being heated in an oven to remove all moisture that the granite slabs absorbs from the Gang Saws and Line Polisher during grinding. Immediately after removal from the oven, best quality Imported Resin is applied to the surface of the slabs for perfect Polymerization. Resin serves as a sealing agent for the stone as you know natural stone is porous and may have micro fissures. The resin fills in the inherit properties of the stone and make the slabs ready for further & final polishing. Moon Exports uses only certified and tested brands of resin for all stones. Now the resined slabs put forward on the 18 heads, dual bridge, fully automated Polishing Line. Our Polishing Lines produces the mirror like surface finish that all Moon Exports Customers have become accustom to. We have exported lots of containers of polished surface granite slabs, tiles, marble slabs tiles, slate stone, kota stone, lime black limestone to European countries. So if you are dealing with project of polished surface, please contact with us, you will find it worthful. Surface of Indian Granites, Slate stone, Marbles, Quartzite and Limestone can be made in polish finish

SAND BLASTED

Brushed finish is obtained by applying hard plastic or metal brushes to the stone surface. The heavily action removes the softer part of the stone and wears out the surface, giving it a look similar to that of antique finishing. In brushed finish the depth on the surface is bit less in comparison to antique finish. We have exported lots of containers of brushed finish marble,granites, slate stone, kota stone and tandur stone to European countries. So if you are dealing with project of brushed surface, please contact with us, you will find it worthful. Surface of Indian Granites, Indian Slate Stone, Marble, Quartzite, Sandstone and Limestone can be made in brushed finish.
