StoneImpressions: Education Series Part 2




Yet another great stone tile lesson from Stone Impressions! The lesson this week focuses on the finish of a tile and will clear up any confusion about tumbled vs. honed.

I find that when homeowners are shopping for their kitchen backsplash, after they are overwhelmed by the sheer choice of tile available, they are amazed at how many finishes a stone tile may offer. Color may be the single most important choice and is typically what will attract you to a tile. Finish is what will give you the style that you desire.

Tumbled textures you will find in rustic, old world styles and many Mediterranean styles. Micro bevels can give you a clean, crisp look if you aspire to have a contemporary edge.

Whatever your style, stone offers timeless beauty and design possibilities that are only limited to your imagination.
