The gallery contains real images of the ‴Stone Washed Dark‴ finish.
A specific finish resulting from abrasive action of ceramic chips on the stone surface. The technology is widely used for marbles and limestone and renders a surface with a typical micro pattern that has an increased resilience to scratching. Smoother than the Stonewashed Dark tile, this tile is not suitable for usage in external environments.
