At NB Bespoke, we partner exclusively with select stone masons who apply time-honoured techniques and precision machinery to achieve exceptional surface finishes. Indeed, each type of finish alters the stone’s texture, slip resistance, light reflectivity and tonal depth. As a result, the technical specification directly influences both performance and aesthetic impact. Whether you require interior refinement, exterior durability or seamless continuity, our bespoke finishes balance beauty with engineered functionality.

 

Interior Finishes

Our interior stone finishes refine the surface texture, adjust reflectivity and enhance tactile comfort to deliver a truly luxurious feel that enhances every detail of your project. So from countertops to basins and tabletops to shower trays, custom paving and much more, discover your perfect bespoke commercial stone finish here:

Honed Finish

1. Honed

Also available for Indoor-Outdoor projects, this finish presents a smooth, contemporary aesthetic with a soft, velvety feel. The surface is ground using progressively finer diamond abrasives to achieve a smooth, matte finish, which reduces light reflection and highlights natural veining with clarity.

Honed & Tumbled Finish

2. Honed & Tumbled

This interior finish combines a smooth honed surface with softly weathered edges. The stone is first honed to achieve a smooth matte surface, then tumbled to gently distress edges and corners. A honed & tumbled finish suits heritage properties, as it creates warmth and understated elegance with a hint of aged charm.

Sandblasted & Lightly Brushed Finish

3. Sandblasted & Lightly Brushed

First, the stone is sandblasted at high pressure to add texture, followed by light brushing with rotary diamond brushes to soften the effect. This two-stage process results in increased slip resistance while retaining a comfortable tactile quality, which performs beautifully in bathrooms, utility rooms and relaxed interior spaces.

Exterior Finishes

Our exterior stone finishes combine durability with refined texture to withstand the elements and provide slip resistance underfoot, whilst preserving the stone’s natural character.

Honed & Tumbled Finish

1. Honed & Tumbled

First, the surface is honed for smoothness, then tumbled to create subtly distressed edges. This combination balances refinement with rustic character while maintaining slip resistance. It suits entertaining spaces and architectural landscaping, delivering relaxed luxury with lasting durability.

Tumbled & Etched Finish

2. Tumbled & Etched

This exterior finish features softly rounded edges and a gently textured surface. The stone is tumbled to soften the edges, then a controlled acid or mechanical etching is applied. As a result, it achieves a naturally aged character with lasting resilience, which suits courtyards, terraces and traditional landscapes.

Sandblasted Finish

3. Sandblasted

A sandblasted finish creates a finely textured surface with enhanced grip, created by blasting the stone with abrasive material to reveal its natural structure. As a result, it performs exceptionally well outdoors and improves slip resistance in wet conditions. It suits patios, pathways, pool surrounds and external steps.
