Large rocks cut into desired sizes as stone slabs or tiles passing through a long journey of different processes and be ready to install in your building or landscape as hardscape material.

When stones slabs or tiles cut and turned into the commercial products, it has surfaced at the top, which is a prime concern to create textures on the stones. Stone processing units are giving a touch to stone surfaces as per needs and standards prevailing in the industry.

Otherwise, naturally cut surfaces remain as a natural cleft in the absence of any treatment at all. Therefore, natural clefts have unique texture originating from the rock cutting patterns and machines. Here, natural & rustic matte finish is common.

Apart from the natural cleft, stones used to have following surface finishes, which are creating different patterns.

However, we must pay attention to achieve desired effects or matching or contrasting a theme running exterior as well as often interior too. Light colors reflect the natural or artificial lights and give an illusion of larger spaces than they are. Similarly, darker colors contract spatial feelings for the same space.

Moreover, a color choice also depends on the amount of sunlight you receive on your stone patio. Darker shades are a better choice for the patio receiving a lot of sunlight during the entire day. If your patio has huge trees or building in the way of Sun route, your color choice may shift from darker shades to lighter shades.

Some designers prefer monotone colors for stone pavers on your patio while many go for multicolored choices. In fact, mono & multi is depending on the patterns of paving designs. Of course, heavy stain prone areas must have darker tones for your stone pavers to save a lot of cleaning and maintenance.
