Understanding Tile Surface Finishing: Types and Their Effects
How to recognize a matt, semi-polished, bush-hammered or textured surface?
The surface finishing is the working processing of a tile in order to achieve certain surface roughness conditions and shape and size allowances.
The natural/matt finishing is very versatile and it has a universal application; the semi-polished effect enhances the aesthetic values of the material by increasing its brilliance and elegance to such degree as to overcome the natural marbles gloss; the bush-hammering processing is carried out with tools like chisel, cap, etc., in order to obtain a rustic, rough surface; the textured finishing solves the slipperiness problem, caused by water or particular environmental conditions.
