Neolith NanoTech Polished

Neolith NanoTech Polished is the successor of the original Neolith Décor Polished – NanoTech Polished, however, manages to achieve the same glossy finish achieved in Décor Polished, without the need for the additional glass layer. Instead of applying the cover, the slab is directly polished once it comes out of the kiln and by using a special raw material during the sinterization process and a studied polishing technique, a perfectly flat reflection is achieved. This type of finish outstands for its flexural strength, its higher resistance to abrasion in comparion to the previous one and it is ideal for fullbody designed slabs. Thanks to the unique raw materials involved in the process Neolith Nanotech Polished provides the whitest white and darkest black options available in the market of sintered surfaces.

Riverwashed

Finishes

Riverwashed

Riverwashed finish features depth and surface roughness. Compared to a brush hammered or aged finish and adds a touch of realism inspired by natural stones.

Silk

Finishes

Silk

Silk finish features a matte look with a thin layer of glaze that provides subtle shine and a soft touch.

Satin

Finishes

Satin

Satin finish features a natural matte look and a regular texture conferring high resistance properties to the material.

Split Face

Finishes

Split Face

Split Face finish occurs whenthe stone is cut by a Guillotine that fractures the face and turns it to a rocky finish. This finish has textured relief look that provides dimension with added quality and durability.

Sandblasted

Finishes

Sandblasted

In sandblasting, a high-pressure jet of siliceous sand or steel shots is applied to the area to be treated. It produces a smooth abrasion, leaving the material slightly scratched on the surface, but not rugged. The color tones and the veins are a bit dulled.

Bush Hammered

Finishes

Bush Hammered

Brush Hammered finish has a rough effect and a rugged touch, leaving the surface fairly smooth with small indentations. The process of this finish is created by a specialized stone-working hammer resembling a meat tenderizing hammer.

 

Bush Hammered & Brushed

Finishes

Bush Hammered & Brushed

Bush hammering and brushed is obtained by hitting the material 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 pressure water finishing because these are faster and less costly.

Flamed

Finishes

Flamed

Flamed  finish is the process when an intense flame is fired at the stone which causes the surface of the stone to burst and become rough. It enhances the natural seams of the stone giving it a surface roughness. This finished is used primarily for exteriors applications where slip resistance is extremely important. This finish cannot be applied to all stone however most granite and certain hard limestone are preferred.

Flamed & Brushed

Finishes

Flamed & Brushed

Passing a blowpipe that emits a high-temperature flame over the surface to be treated. The heat acts by blowing the crystals out as they suffer thermal shock, with an effect that is particularly evident in materials composed of minerals with various degrees of expansion, e.g., the vast majority of granites. The surface produced is rough and non-slip, and the color is generally faded, hiding defects and tone variations. Because of oxidation, yellow materials become orange or red.

Honed

Finishes

Honed

Buffed to a degree of smooth but dull appearance, honed finish leaves a surface smooth and refined. This finish exemplifies the stones natural character as it holds a low reflection and matte feature.

Natural Cleft

Finishes

Natural Cleft

This is the a finish associated with materials that are layered and thus when Split with do so on a Natural Fault and create what is known as Natural Cleft Finish. Slates are the most common types of stone that can Naturally Split.

Polished

Finishes

Polished

Polished finish is the most characteristic finish, achieving an inimitable effect reflecting light and objects like a mirror. The material is buffed to a degree of high shine, enhancing a rich look and a pinnacle of the material’s depth and colour.

 

 

Rigato

Rigato

Rigato is a machine finish that gives a linear pattern cut to the stone. This give an added design factor when applied to a wall. All stones can have this finish prepared on it.
