There are eleven classic surface finishings (see the examples below) that Brachot-Hermant can apply on granites: from the much-used polishing technique to the less well-known frost flower patterning.

Polishing can be used on a wide range of natural stone types: the main criteria are that the stone must be sufficiently compact and must contain enough 'hard' minerals.
Granites and marbles are frequently polished, basalts and slates less so.
A rougher finish can sometimes offer added aesthetic value and can sometimes be a matter of necessity.
However, many marbles lose their vivid quality if given a rough finish.

With the Calibrato^® process Brachot-Hermant supplies an answer to the demand for light slabs and tiles.
This sophisticated production process allows natural stone to be accurately calibrated to a thickness of as little as 10 mm.
Moreover, the slab - irrespective of its size - is the same thickness over its full surface area.
This greatly facilitates the efficient laying of natural stone on support structures, such as braces or laths.

Before choosing the type of finishing you want, it is always advisable to seek the advice of a professional.
They will know which finish can best be combined with the different types of natural stone.
They will take account of the purpose for which you intend to use the stone (e.g. a rougher surface finishing for applications where an anti-slip function is important).
