The Light Emperador marble accepts well certain types of finishings, due to its hardness and breccial nature. The types of finishings we most recommend are:
Polished
This is the type of finishing that most enhances the beautiful brown colour and veinage of the Light Emperador marble. The surface is very shiny and smooth, highlighting the best of this stone.
Some common applications: flooring, kitchen countertops, fireplaces.
Honed
This type of finishing is plain and does not show any shine, in contrast with the polished one. The surface of the stone is velvety, revealing a lighter type of brown colour and less contrast.
Some common applications: exterior cladding, coverings.
Sand-blasted
This type of finishing gives the stone a very light brownish colour, with very thin roughness. Its surface has a similar texture of sandpaper. It is commonly used for flooring with moderate use.
Some common applications: exterior flooring, coverings, stonework.
Brushed
This type of finishing has a corrugated appearance, but it maintains the original brown colour. Its surface is characterized by its salience and smoothness, recommended for flooring.
Some common applications: exterior flooring, coverings, stonework.
