The importance of finishes when working with Pietra Serena
When selecting Pietra Serena for a project, whether for flooring, cladding or decorative elements, the choice of finish plays a crucial role.
Each finish gives the stone unique aesthetic and functional characteristics, affecting both its appearance and its resistance to foot traffic, atmospheric conditions and wear.
Understanding Pietra Serena’s different finishes will help you determine the best option for your application and environment.
The importance of finishes
Flamed Finish: Natural and non-slip
The flamed finish is one of the most popular choices for Pietra Serena used outdoors.
This treatment exposes the surface of the stone to a high temperature flame, creating a slightly rough and irregular texture.
The result is a non-slip surface ideal for outdoor flooring, pathways and areas exposed to the elements, while retaining the natural charm of Pietra Serena.
Chiseled Finish: Rustic handcrafted look
The chiseled finish is a handcrafted process that gives Pietra Serena a rustic and textured look.
Chiseled surfaces are characterised by intentional visible irregularities, perfect for enhancing historical settings or projects inspired by tradition.
This finish is particularly suitable for facades, walls and decorative details where the handcrafted effect becomes a distinctive feature.
Honed Finish: Elegant and Refined
For those looking for a smooth and refined surface, the Honed finish is the perfect choice.
Honed Pietra Serena has an even texture, a pleasant feel and an elegant appearance.
This finish is widely used in interiors, from floors to staircases, offering a perfect balance between sophisticated aesthetics and practicality.
