The Rojo Alicante marble can accept well the large majority of finishings. However, the types of finishing we most recommend are:

Polished

This is the type of finishing that most enhances the beautiful red colour of the Rojo Alicante. The surface is very shiny and smooth, highlighting the best colour of this stone.

Some common applications: flooring, kitchen countertops, bath design.

Honed

This type of finishing is plain and does not show any shine, in contrast with the polished one. The surface of the stone is velvety, revealing a lighter type of red colour and less contrast.

Some common applications: exterior cladding, coverings, stonework.

Sand-blasted

This type of finishing has a thin corrugated appearance, turning the red coloured Rojo Alicante into white. Its surface is characterized by its thin salience and roughness.

Some common applications: flooring, coverings, stonework.

 

Brushed

This type of finishing has a corrugated appearance, but it maintains the original red colour. Its surface is characterized by its salience and smoothness, recommended for flooring.

Some common applications: exterior flooring, coverings, stonework.

Bush-hammered

This type of finishing has a strong corrugated appearance, changing the colour of the stone into white and slightly red. Its surface is characterized by its strong salience and roughness.

Some common applications: exterior flooring, stonework.
