Finishes Available for travertine Bundaberg Central - Bundaberg
While marbles and granites are commonly ground and polished to achieve a high gloss, many types of travertine in Bundaberg Central are too soft for this procedure. In most instances, travertine will be honed or ground to a flat or matte finish. Honed travertine exhibits an almost chalky appearance, with minimal to no sheen.
However, there are several other finishes available for travertine in Bundaberg Central. The techniques and finishes applied can result in achieving a completely different look and effect.
Various finishes are better suited to specific environments, situations, and preferences in Bundaberg Central SawnA comparatively rough surface is achieved. The natural stone is sawn without any additional processes such as honing, tumbling, or flaming, making the saw marks likely to be visible.
PolishedA smooth and reflective surface is achieved, enhancing the full color and character of the travertine. This finish is less slip-resistant and typically reserved for indoor areas in Bundaberg Central like hotel receptions and tabletops. Finer abrasives are progressively used after the honing stage, and the stone is buffed to achieve a high gloss.
Antiqued/Tumbled
Tumbling is a common technique in Bundaberg Central involving distressing the edges and surface of the travertine by vibrating it in a bath of sand, grit, and sometimes acid. This process results in a finish that appears aged and worn.
HonedThis method is less aggressive than grinding, yet similar. The travertine in Bundaberg Central is ground and sanded using coarse grit abrasives to achieve a smooth but satin, non-reflective finish. It produces a satin-smooth surface with minimal to no gloss.
GroundThis method is highly aggressive and involves using a metal-bonded, diamond grit heavy weighted floor buffer to eliminate deep scratches and lippage. The aim in Bundaberg Central is to flatten the floor and smooth out imperfections, often followed by honing and polishing.
BrushedSteel or hard nylon brushes, along with water, are utilized to brush and wear out softer parts of the travertine in Bundaberg Central, creating a textured finish. This technique provides an antique appearance to the stone.
SandblastedA textured surface is created in Bundaberg Central by blasting sand at high pressure onto the travertine. Shot-blasting is a similar process. This process often lightens the travertine and can mask its natural character by hiding the veins and fossils within the stone.
