  2. Most finishescan be applied on it such as:

  • Polished (the most well-known).

  • Honed (also well known, because it looks better when it becomes honed)

  • Brushed

  • Soft & hard Bush-hammered (sometimes it is accompanied by brushing after Bush-hammering it, it is used in flooring of pools, paving, cladding, etc.).

  • Acid -Tumbled – Split Face – Sandblasted

  • Flamed (Not all of the Triesta Marble slabs accept the flaming process, and it undergoes pore lightening process by acidulating it, to make the process of flaming more effective).

Note 1: Brushed, Acid, Bush-hammered finishes can be applied before or after cutting the slabs into tiles. But applying the finishes before cutting into tiles, is more expensive than cutting after applying the finishes, because cutting the slab into tiles before applying the finishes is less wastage. Anyway, it’s done according to the client desire.

  1. It is used in Exteriors & interiors, walls & floors, cladding, Paving, Fountains, Pools, etc.

Material defects and its treatment: –

  1. Black flowers.

  2. Crystals and cracks

Method of treatment: Filling the crack with resin or epoxy resin tinted to match the color of the limestone both masks the crack and gives the stone back its tensile strength.

  1. Some blocks contain Salts (salt deposit left behind when water evaporates, then it appears as a powdery substance on the surface).

Method of treatment: we use anti-salts on the surface that prevents salts to float onto the surface and deposit.

  1. Rusting (this can cause brown cracks)

Therefore the 1st quality products of Triesta Marble are more expensive.
