Types of Cut Edges
Natural Cleft Stone
Stone tiles are split from a large block along the existing seam producing a unique natural surface. The tile edges can then be hand or saw cut to size.
Hand Cut Stone
Stone tiles are trimmed to size by chiseling and chipping the stones edges with hand tools achieving an irregular edge for a traditional quarried aesthetic.
Saw Cut Stone
Sawn natural stone produces clean straight edges allowing for tight groat lines and a clean modern aesthetic. Stone tiles can be sawn on four or six edges to preserve or remove the natural cleft surface.
Types of Surface Finishes
Natural Riven Finish
Certain stones can be split along natural seams while still producing a very flat surface. Though not smooth, this texture is more uniform than natural cleft finishes.
Tumbled Finish
A timeless classic finish that suits the quarried stones natural rugged look. The tumbling process produces an aged and weathered appearance.
Natual Cleft Finish
Stone tiles are split from a large block along the existing seam producing a unique natural surface. The tile edges can then be hand or saw cut to size.
Honed Finish
Sawn tiles are smoothed using a mechanical honing process that leaves the stone with a semi-polished finish. We can cut the top, bottom and any or all sides of the stone. The most common is 6 sides sawn cut.
Sandshot Finish
Stone tiles are evenly and lightly textured using a sandblasting process that leaves the product with a dimpled non-slip surface.
