A natural stone surface finish refers to the treatment or process applied to the surface of natural stone to achieve a particular texture, appearance, and functional property. These finishes are used to enhance the aesthetic appeal, durability, and slip resistance of the stone for various applications, including flooring, countertops, wall cladding, and outdoor paving.

A sandblasted finish is achieved by blasting the stone surface with high-pressure sand, resulting in a rough, matte texture. This finish is particularly useful for exterior cladding, walkways, and other applications where a non-slip surface is crucial. The sandblasting process removes saw marks and creates a smooth surface adorned with fine, sometimes nearly invisible circular marks, giving the stone a slightly scratched appearance. Despite this, the texture feels pleasant to the touch.

The colors of sandblasted stone tend to be a bit dull compared to other finishes. This type of finish is commonly applied to sandstone and is an excellent choice for exterior applications. Known for its durability and slip-resistant properties, the sandblasted finish ensures both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, this finish is sometimes referred to as a grit blasted finish, providing the same benefits and visual characteristics.
