Create lighter, brighter interiors next Spring with polished stone flooring from Devon Stone.
High-sheen surfaces will continue to be a key interior trend for Spring/Summer 2011.
It’s all about achieving a smooth, slick, shiny finish, whether it’s lacquered kitchen cabinetry or high-gloss furniture pieces.
When it comes to shiny stone finishes, one might first consider Marble or Granite; but in reality, most stones can be polished to create a shiny, sleek finish.
The picture shown is Limestone, more popularly available in a flat, ‘honed’ finish. Jura Grey.
Priced from £55.38/ square metre.
The process involves grinding the upper surface of the stone, followed by a buffing stage, which leaves a glossy, polished finish.
The resulting product appears shiny because the particles contained within, reflect the light more easily.
This reflection of light around a room is a great way of achieving a lighter, brighter interior.
And it’s a common mis-conception that shiny surfaces are necessarily more slippery; providing you minimise surface water, a polished floor will be no more slippery than a honed finished floor.
