Bush Hammered Granite
Frequently Asked Questions About Bush Hammered Finish Granite
Bush hammered granite is a highly textured surface finish created by hitting the stone with a mechanical or manual bush hammer tool. This technique creates a uniform, rugged surface covered with tiny craters or pits. The finish increases grip and is ideal for anti-slip applications in both residential and commercial projects.
Where is bush hammered granite typically used?
Bush hammered granite is widely used for outdoor flooring, walkways, driveways, pool surrounds, stair treads, and building facades. It’s also suitable for high-traffic zones that require a durable and anti-skid surface. This finish is popular in urban landscaping and industrial paving.
How does bush hammered granite differ from flamed granite?
Both finishes offer slip resistance, but bush hammered granite has a more pronounced and aggressive texture compared to flamed granite, which has a grainy and natural cleft-like surface. Bush hammering creates a pitted, dimpled texture, while flaming results in a rough, crystal-exposed finish.
Is black granite available with a bush hammered finish?
Yes, black granite with a bush hammered finish is commonly used for exterior paving, staircases, and industrial flooring. The dark color combined with the rough surface makes it suitable for both functional and design-driven applications where safety and aesthetics are important.
What are bush hammered granite pavers?
Bush hammered granite pavers are granite tiles or blocks treated with the bush hammering technique and cut into standard paving sizes. These pavers are used for sidewalks, plazas, courtyards, and parking zones, offering a tough, anti-slip surface with long-term durability even under heavy use.
Is bush hammered granite suitable for indoor use?
While mainly used outdoors, bush hammered granite can be used indoors in industrial or utility areas, entry zones, or public transit flooring where slip resistance and durability are priorities. It’s less common for kitchen countertops or interior flooring due to its coarse texture.
What is the price of bush hammered granite?
The price of bush hammered granite varies based on the type of granite, color, and thickness. Since bush hammering is a heavy surface treatment, thicker slabs are generally required to withstand the impact, which naturally increases the cost per square foot. The process involves either manual hammering or a dedicated bush hammering machine, both of which add to the overall processing cost. As a result, bush hammered granite is usually more expensive than polished or honed finishes.
