Surface Finishes

At Nexa-Export, we know that the right surface finish brings out the true beauty and character of natural stone. Whether your project requires a sleek, elegant appearance or a textured, slip-resistant surface, we offer a wide variety of professional marble and granite finishes to meet your design and functional needs. Each finish is carefully crafted using industry-standard techniques to enhance durability, highlight natural patterns, and provide the perfect texture for both interior and exterior applications.

Below is an overview of our available surface finishes:

🔹 Polished

A high-gloss, mirror-like finish that enhances the color, depth, and veining of the stone. Ideal for luxurious interior spaces like flooring, walls, countertops, and decorative features.

🔹 Honed

A smooth, matte finish with a soft appearance and little to no shine. Offers a modern, elegant look and is often used in bathrooms, staircases, and floors where a non-reflective surface is desired.

🔹 Brushed

A subtly textured surface with a slightly worn, antique look. Achieved by brushing the stone with steel brushes, this finish provides a soft feel while maintaining natural character.

🔹 Flamed

Created by exposing the stone to intense heat, causing the surface to burst and become rough. This finish is ideal for outdoor areas, facades, and high-traffic zones requiring slip resistance.

🔹 Acid Washed

This finish uses acidic solutions to lightly etch the stone surface, giving it a weathered, aged appearance. Often used for exterior walls and rustic-style interiors.

🔹 Sandblasted

A uniformly rough texture produced by blasting the stone with sand under high pressure. It creates a light, slightly grainy surface that is slip-resistant and commonly used for walkways and walls.

🔹 Bush Hammered

A heavily textured finish made by pounding the stone with a mechanical or manual hammer. It creates a rugged, slip-resistant surface suitable for outdoor paving, pool surrounds, and public spaces.

🔹 Saw Cut

A basic raw finish straight from the cutting process. The surface is flat but slightly rough, and typically used as a base for further finishing or in construction-grade applications.

🔹 Split Face

A rough, natural-looking surface with a 3D texture, created by mechanically splitting the stone. It offers a bold, rustic appearance and is ideal for feature walls and exterior cladding.

Edge Finishes

At Nexa-Export, we pay close attention to every detail — and the edge finish is no exception. The way a stone is finished at the edge not only affects its appearance and style, but also its safety, durability, and usability. Whether for countertops, stairs, tiles, or cladding, we offer a range of precision edge finishes to meet aesthetic and practical demands.

Explore our available edge options below:

🔹 Straight Cut

A sharp, clean 90-degree edge with no rounding or shaping. This modern, minimal finish is perfect for a sleek, contemporary look in kitchens, walls, and commercial spaces.

🔹 Full Bullnose

A completely rounded edge that curves smoothly from top to bottom, offering a soft, elegant profile. It’s ideal for countertops, vanities, and stairs, combining safety with visual appeal.

🔹 Half Bullnose

Rounded on the top with a flat underside, this finish provides a softer edge while maintaining a solid, clean look. It’s commonly used for kitchen counters and step treads.

🔹 1/4 Round

A subtle curve on the top edge, creating a gentle, clean transition that adds safety and smoothness without altering the slab’s full edge. Often used in bathrooms and furniture tops.

🔹 3/4 Round

More rounded than the 1/4 edge but not fully curved, the 3/4 round strikes a balance between bold softness and structural edge. It enhances the profile while preserving visual strength.
