Absolute Black Granite is globally admired for its deep black color, uniform texture,
and exceptional durability. It is one of the most preferred natural stones for
premium residential,
commercial, and architectural projects. What makes Absolute Black Granite especially versatile is
its ability to transform through different surface finishes.
At
Flodeal Private Limited, we manufacture and export Absolute Black Granite in
polished, honed (also known as matt or satin), and leather finishes to suit diverse design,
safety, and functional requirements for global markets.
Each finish influences the appearance, texture, slip resistance, maintenance, and ideal application of the
stone. Choosing the correct finish ensures that Absolute Black Granite not only looks elegant but also
performs efficiently in its intended environment.
1. Polished Finish
Appearance
The polished finish is the most
classic and widely recognized surface treatment for
Absolute Black Granite. It features a mirror-like, highgloss surface that reflects light beautifully. This reflective quality enhances the stone’s natural depth and
delivers the darkest, richest black color possible. Polished Absolute Black Granite is synonymous with
luxury, sophistication, and timeless appeal.
Texture
- Extremely smooth and refined surface
- Highly reflective, enhancing
brightness in interiors
- Can become slippery when wet due to high gloss
Applications
Maintenance
Polished granite is easy to clean with mild detergent and a soft cloth. Its low
porosity offers good stain resistance, but sealing is recommended to enhance durability and long-term
performance.
2. Honed / Matt / Satin Finish
Appearance
The honed, matt, or
satin finish provides a smooth yet non-reflective surface. It offers a modern and understated look, with a
softer black tone compared to the polished finish. This subtle elegance makes honed Absolute Black Granite
a popular choice in contemporary and minimalist designs.
Texture
- Smooth surface without gloss
- Natural stone appearance
- Better
slip resistance than polished granite
Applications
Maintenance
Honed granite requires moderate maintenance. It does not show fingerprints
or smudges as easily as polished surfaces, but regular sealing is necessary to protect against stains and
moisture.
3. Leather Finish
Appearance
The leather finish is a premium
textured surface created by brushing honed granite. It offers a distinctive, tactile appearance that adds
depth and character to Absolute Black Granite. The color appears rich and natural, sitting between the
intensity of polished and the softness of honed finishes.
Texture
- Slightly rough, leather-like texture
- Highly tactile and visually dynamic</ li>
- Excellent slip resistance
Applications
Maintenance
Leather-finished granite is easy to maintain and effectively hides fingerprints,
water spots, and minor marks. Occasional sealing is recommended to preserve its appearance and protect
against staining.
