Finishes

3/3 selected

Anzano: A somewhat rougher finish, compared to matt or polished finishes, that nonetheless has an especially pleasant feel.

Blue Honed: The blue honed finish creates a smooth, even surface achieved by using different grit levels. On Irish Blue Limestone, the grit coarseness determines the final colour — from pale blue-grey with a matte texture and faint circular patterns to darker tones — making this finish suitable for interiors such as worktops, flooring and cladding, as well as exterior elements like furniture, window sills and plinths.

Dark Honed: The dark honed finish creates a smooth, even surface achieved through the use of fine grits. On Irish Blue Limestone, the grit level determines both the colour and texture — the finest grit (500) produces a dark blue-grey to black appearance with well-defined crinoids and contrasting white fossils, resulting in a smooth matte finish ideal for interiors such as worktops, flooring and cladding.
