TEXTURE
The texturing of stone affects its colour from the most subtle change in how the light is refracted to the complete change in the colour of stone. The most dramatic changes tend to be on the stronger coloured stones such as blacks and strong reds but then buffs and beiges are significantly altered by flame or bush hammered texturing.
Different textures can also be a way of creating subtle banding within an element without having to try and mould two stones together. Heavier textures could be used to determine walking routes, a warning around ground mounted features such as fountains and rills or even as a deterrent for skateboarders.
UNIQUE FINISHES
Available in a variety of styles and textures, our paving slabs have been supplied to many high-end commercial and residential projects. We provide selected materials that offer outstanding durability in an array of different finishes, from flamed to smooth ground and textured effects.
With diverse styles, colors and unique textures, we are proud to offer our flooring materials that are the premier choice of landscapers, businesses and councils for use in small and large-scale public projects.
MIXING TEXTURES
As the natural colour of stone can be altered by the use of texture to create subtle or much more dramatic contrasts, so the general aesthetics of a scheme can be further altered by the mixing of textures within it.
Mixing of textures needs to be done with care as too much can be overwhelming and not enough can make elements of the design appear to be out of place. Textures also need to be compatible in terms of alignment so that they do not create trip hazards in the floor or snag people on more vertical elements.
