Leather finish stone
What is a leather finish?
A leather finish is brushed with diamond abrasives so the surface keeps a soft texture and a low sheen, like leather. It hides fingerprints, water marks and small scratches, which is why it suits dark granite counters, outdoor steps and busy floors. It gives more grip than polished and a richer colour than honed.
The leather finish at a glance
| What it is | The stone is brushed with stiff diamond brushes that follow the natural texture of the surface, leaving gentle undulations and a low sheen. |
|---|---|
| How it looks and feels | Soft sheen with a subtle texture you can feel. Dark granites keep a deep colour without showing every mark. |
| Slip and wear | Good grip for indoor and covered outdoor steps. Hides wear well. |
| How to look after it | Seal lighter stones. Clean with a neutral cleaner and a soft brush to lift dirt from the texture. |
| Where it suits | kitchen countertops, staircases, outdoor and paving |
