Granite covering tiles come in various types depending on the treatment of the working surface. Polished tiles feature a mirror surface with a clear stone pattern, ideal for interior decoration, external plinths, wall cladding, facades, countertops, and more. On the other hand, honed tiles have a smooth surface with a clear pattern but without shine, offering a balance between slip resistance and a visible granite structure.
Heat-treated granite slabs are rough with noticeable peeling traces, perfect for exterior cladding due to their anti-slip properties. They are also used for wall decoration and creating a matte effect in facades. Chipped tiles have uneven depressions resembling a naturally split surface, providing a retro look with maximum anti-slip properties, making them ideal for winter use.
Bush-hammered tiles feature a uniform rough surface, combining elements of polishing and heat treatment. This method enhances the color contrast of the granite, making it suitable for those who appreciate contrasting colors. While more labor-intensive, the result is visually striking, making it a premium choice for those who desire a unique aesthetic.
