Description

The leather finish stone has a pebbly, leather-like surface. This is a relatively recent design trend that is gaining popularity. It has a grainy look and a gentle gloss that is less intense than polished granite. Diamond-tipped bristles are used to sweep over honed granite to produce the stone’s delicate, dimple-like structure.

What types of slabs can therefore be leathered? The most common material is granite, however, quartzite and marble too can handle this treatment admirably. The majority of people favour really dark-coloured stones, like Black Pearl Granite, because they better highlight the texture and give off a lush, high-end personality. Granite that has a leather finish appears to be more textured. The name for this type of stone comes from its raised texture, which is reminiscent of real leather. Since it is a great option for individuals wishing to give their home a rustic feel, this stone finish has been gaining favour over the past several years.

How does this finish work, and why should you think about it? It will be covered in the following parts.
