From the preliminary measuring to the all-important finishing touches of the new granite countertops, Surface Encounters takes the stress and guess out of the process to offer a more positive home improvement experience.
Granite countertops can have several finishes depending on style and preference. Home remodelers can choose between a polished, honed, flamed or brushed finish. The choice of style is according to décor’. When customers tour the Surface Encounters showroom Granite countertops experts explain the process of creating and finishing the Granite countertops.
A polished finish is the most popular for the beauty and depth of the grain when brought to a high gloss. Polished finishes also create a pristine and elegant touch in the kitchen. Polished finished Granite countertops are a suitable choice for any kitchen. They are easier to maintain than most other finishes and have a high luster look allowing the color in oneÂ’s granite to reveal its deep natural grain.
The popularity of honed finishes is on the rise in newly installed granite countertops. Honed finishes are smooth and have a lower luster than the polished finishes. Although this style of granite countertops is less shimmering in appearance, it gives a home a slightly more relaxed and contemporary look, while still maintaining the elegant touch associated with granite countertops. When properly cleaned, maintained and cared for oneÂ’s honed granite countertops will last as long as any other finish.
Flamed finishes are another option for new granite countertops. The flamed finish is created by exposing the granite to an extremely intense heat followed immediately by intense cooling. The exposure to the extreme temperature causes the granite to melt, and remold its minerals to create a textured surface. Although typically used in industrial applications flamed finish granite countertops can offer a unique look in the home. The flamed finish is an excellent choice for garage work spaces, studios and craft areas where a textured and slip resistant surface is desired.
Granite countertops are also available in brushed finishes, sometimes referred to as antiqued finishes, and are created when granite processors gently brush the granite’s surface developing a “worn-in” look throughout the stone. A brushed finish offers homeowners the most dramatic granite countertop surface.
Whether the finish is polished, honed, flamed or brushed, granite countertops provide many 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.
