Sandblasted Marble: Matte Finish for Non-Slip Surfaces and Outdoor ApplicationsSandblasted marble is a surface finish created by projecting high-pressure abrasive particles to uniformly remove a thin surface layer and produce a controlled matte texture. The process refines surface irregularities, slightly softens colour tones and veining, and enhances tactile grip, making it particularly suitable for architectural projects that demand both aesthetics and safety.
How it's achievedAt Pistore Marmi the operation uses industrial sandblasting systems composed of a compressor, abrasive reservoir and directional sandblasting gun. Operators calibrate pressure and particle size to obtain specific roughness levels and visual effects. The controlled abrasion removes surface imperfections while preserving the stone's structural integrity.
Applications and usesSandblasted stone is adaptable to interior and exterior architectural uses; different stone types yield distinct textures and appearances.
- Flooring
- Wall cladding
- Outdoor paving and terraces
- Pool edges and surrounds
- Stair treads and landings
- Humid or wet areas requiring anti-slip surfaces
