(EstateNewsWire.com, February 06, 2013 ) Saint Charles MO – Surface Encounters offers the customer a choice of granite countertop finishes for the newly remodeled kitchen. Their selection depends on several factors including personal preference, style and surrounding décor. The four most popular choices include polished, honed, flamed or brushed. When customers tour the Surface Encounters showroom a stone fabrication expert explains the process of creating and finishing granite countertops.
Of the most commonly known granite countertop finishes, polished is the most popular, because it brings the beauty and depth of the granite to a high gloss. Polished granite countertop finishes give a pristine and elegant look and are easy to maintain.
Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) installers have discovered an increase in popularity with honed granite countertop finishes. A honed finish is smooth with a lower luster than the polished finish. Although this style is less shimmering in appearance, it gives a home a more relaxed and contemporary look, while still maintaining the elegant touch associated with granite countertops. When properly cleaned, maintained and cared for one’s honed granite countertops will last as long as any other finish.
Flamed granite countertop finishes are created by exposing the granite to intense heat followed immediately by intense cooling. The exposure to the extreme temperature causes the granite to melt, and remold the minerals to produce a textured surface. Although used normally in industrial applications flamed granite countertop finishes can also be an option in the home. For garage work spaces, studios and craft areas flamed finishes are an excellent solution producing a surface that is textured and slip resistant.
Brushed granite countertop finishes, sometimes referred to as antiqued finishes, are created when granite processors gently brush the surface developing a “worn-in” look throughout the stone.
Whether the finish is polished, honed, flamed or brushed, the granite countertop offers years and years of enjoyment to the homeowner. A lot of planning goes into remodeling the kitchen, so the interior design specialists at Surface Encounters are happy to assist the customer with all the details, from measuring to finishing and installing new granite countertops.
