The texture of the surface, which granite steps have, can be obtained as a result of applying various processing methods. Currently, there are four main types of finishes: sawing, grinding, polishing and heat treatment. In addition, at the request of the customer, a set of measures can be additionally carried out to impart anti-slip properties.
Polished granite steps are characterized by small irregularities on the surface, which cause a high coefficient of friction-slip. Such a finish looks most advantageous on light types of natural stone - it emphasizes its beauty and structure. The polished surface, on the other hand, highlights the natural beauty of dark-colored rocks. Such steps will look very impressive, however, it will be much easier to slip on them. The sawn type of processing is characterized by an uneven texture and natural manifestations of the rock pattern. Can be used on stairs and entrancesresidential and public buildings. Heat treatment, in turn, allows you to get a rough surface, which has a slightly melted appearance. This processing method has a high anti-slip effect, since all surface pores are sealed under the influence of a gas jet during the stone slab manufacturing process.
