When choosing stone for a wall, it’s important to consider whether the wall is indoors or an exterior surface. Different surface finishes offer varying levels of weather resistance, and for outdoor use, it’s best to choose a highly durable stone such as granite. You should also consider how large an area you want to cover and what size elements you plan to use.
Antique
Surface treatment that gives the stone an antique appearance, with a soft and textured finish.
Leather
Brushing the surface creates a slightly textured or leathery finish.
Polished
Polished surface finish is shiny and has a mirror effect. Polished stone slabs are used mostly indoors.
Matte
A matte surface is smooth but dull or minimally reflective.
