Natural Stone Cutting & Filling
Natural stone can be processed in different ways depending on the desired appearance and character. Cutting direction influences how the stone’s natural layers and veining are revealed, while filling can either smooth the surface or leave its natural pores and cavities visible. Below you can explore the differences between filled and unfilled stone, as well as vein cut and cross cut.
Unfilled Natural pores and cavities are left open, giving the stone a more textured and authentic appearance.
Filled Natural pores and cavities are filled to create a smoother, more even surface while retaining the stone’s natural character.
Vein Cut The stone is cut parallel to its natural layers, creating a more linear and directional pattern.
Cross Cut The stone is cut across its natural layers, revealing a softer, more cloud-like and varied pattern.
