Shot Blast
Steel shots propelled at high velocity create a uniform anti-slip matte finish
Shot Blast Finish — Uniform Matte Texture
Shot blasting involves projecting steel balls or grit at high velocity against the stone surface using a centrifugal blasting wheel. The impact creates a uniformly textured, matte surface that is highly slip-resistant. Unlike the flame finish, shot blasting produces a more consistent and finer texture, making it equally suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Ideal Applications
✓ Advantages
- Uniform, consistent texture
- Excellent anti-slip properties
- Suitable for high-traffic areas
- Can be used indoors and outdoors
✗ Considerations
- Less visually striking than polished finishes
- Slightly harder to maintain
Care & Maintenance
Regular sweeping and mopping with stone-safe cleaner. Reseal every 2-3 years.
