LEATHERED GRANITE
Granite
Is a natural stone that is commonly used as a countertop material in kitchens and bathrooms. It is known for its durability, strength, and aesthetic appeal. Granite typically comes in a polished finish, which has a glossy and reflective surface. However, there are several other finishes available, including honed, brushed, flamed, and leathered finishes.
A leathered finish is a textured surface treatment applied to granite. It involves using diamond-tipped brushes to create a slightly roughened, matte appearance that resembles the texture of leather. This finish brings out the natural color and characteristics of the stone while providing a unique and rustic look. The leathered finish also makes the granite less prone to showing fingerprints, smudges, and water spots compared to a polished finish.
As for its popularity, trends in countertop finishes can vary over time and across different regions. While granite countertops, in general, have been popular for many years due to their durability and natural beauty, the preference for specific finishes can change. Leathered granite had gained popularity due to its distinctive appearance and practical advantages.
