[Start a Project]<\/strong><\/p>\n At Coldspring, we have a sizable line-up of standard finishes available for a variety of jobs. Our finishes cover the gamut of needs while presenting a great value to clients.<\/p>\n Rough to the touch, this finish showcases the stone\u2019s sparkling crystals against a lightened background.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A highly reflective, smooth finish that magnifies the stone\u2019s natural appearance by illuminating the vibrant colors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A semi-rough surface, this finish is textured to reveal vibrant colors in a deep, rich background.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A heavy water pressure treatment reveals the radiant crystals within the stone\u2019s surface through a dramatically course texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This hone finish dramatically highlights the stone\u2019s crystal structure while deepening its background hues.<\/p>\n Available only on limestone, this non-reflective, smooth finish draws out the stone\u2019s natural colors and variations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The process of sawing leaves slight grooves, swirl marks and lines on the stone\u2019s surface, softening its natural traits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This limestone finish is non-reflective and mutes the stone\u2019s natural traits to create subtle contrasts and highlights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This finish highlights the stone\u2019s vibrant colors and crystals through a smooth surface textured in soft waves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A consistent, coarse-textured surface that exposes the natural beauty of the stone\u2019s crystals on a pronounced jagged background.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n A natural, jagged cleft-face design permeates this finish, with trimmed edges that create a rugged, yet defined, effect throughout. Faces will be convex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Semi-smooth and light in appearance, this finish creates a subtle contrast between the stone\u2019s color and crystals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rough, yet soft to the touch, this finish contrasts the vibrant crystals against a lightened background.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Non-reflective and smooth. Subtle contrasts and highlights bring out stone\u2019s colors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This finish richly highlights the stone\u2019s reflective crystals, enhancing and contrasting with the depth of the darker colors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Crystals are uniformly fashioned to create a light-on-dark \u201cstippled\u201d effect across the finish\u2019s coarse surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A natural, jagged cleft-face design permeates this finish, with untrimmed edges that create a rugged effect throughout. Faces can be convex, concave or flat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n For custom finishes, our craftsmen welcome the opportunity to meet the most demanding design requirements. In fact, some of our most difficult custom challenges have evolved into some of our standard finishes.<\/p>\n A lot of factors go into determining the perfect finish for your project. Keep these points in mind as you move toward deciding on your finish:<\/p>\n We’ve designed enough projects with multiple finishes to know the kind of difference that variety can make. Some of the most significant ones have been:<\/p>\n [View All Case Studies]<\/strong><\/p>\n Ready to get started on your next project?

And when several finishes of the same stone are used throughout the project, the slight variations can help coordinate the entire look. Additionally, choosing one stone with multiple finishes can reduce the number of pieces requiring installation. This can transfer into lower installation costs by setters having to handle less pieces on the job site. Therefore, aesthetic variation can be achieved within the same piece versus using multiple pieces.<\/p>\n Sometimes, a change in finish is used as a design element. For example, a hardscape might change finishes to signal a change in space, such as moving into a seating area. You can also use texture changes to accent or draw attention to key features within a project.<\/p>\n When a project specifies the need to meet certain requirements, such as the American with Disabilities Act [ADA]<\/em> requirements<\/a>, utilizing multiple stone finishes can help. While polished or honed finishes alone do not generally meet ADA requirements in exterior paved environments, the application of a flamed, thermal or sanded finish in conjunction with a polished or honed finish may achieve the minimums. Different textures can also be used to delineate traffic and walking lanes within a larger paved area.<\/p>\n Finally, <\/strong>don\u2019t forget the benefits of quarrying one stone<\/a> to maximize the project\u2019s budget. To avoid a monotonous appearance, designers often select numerous stones to add different colors and shade variations in the finished product. But doing so can quickly stretch a project\u2019s budget by requiring material to be brought in from multiple suppliers, thus adding to the procurement and project management costs of construction. By optimizing the material being utilized from a single quarry, efficiencies can be gained and overall costs stay significantly lower. In some cases, design teams may have a specific appearance in mind but don\u2019t realize the various available finish options<\/a> to achieve the look. Discussing the overall goals of your project with a natural stone provider can help maximize your budget and bring your vision to life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nStandard Finishes<\/h3>\n
