Cut Broken Finish
A structured, natural-looking surface with controlled broken grooves that softens reflections and adds depth to façades and feature walls.

WHAT THIS FINISH DOES

Soft, leather-like texture
In a cut broken finish, the stone is first sawn into slabs, then the face is worked with a combination of machine and hand tools to create a field of controlled grooves and broken ridges. Instead of a flat, polished surface, you get a matte, non-reflective texture that feels natural and architectural at the same time. Light catches the small steps and fractures, giving the stone more depth and a handcrafted character.
Textured, non-polished surface
Natural broken grooves
Designed for facades

BEST PLACED FOR

Typical applications

this as a design guide only-final suitability is confirmed for each project.

Exterior facades
Architectural skin
Ideal for external cladding where you want strong shadows, natural texture and a less reflective, more monolithic appearance.
Feature interior walls
Statement surfaces
Perfect behind reception desks, stair voids or living spaces where the broken pattern adds movement and depth to the space.
Entrance & landscape walls

Indoor–outdoor

Well suited to boundary walls, entry portals and garden elements that need a durable, sculpted stone texture.

Project-specific guidance

Cut broken (کات بروکن) finishes behave differently on each stone type, from marble and travertine to Chinese and crystal stones. Use this pop-up as a visual and performance guide only. Final panel thickness, joint design and fixing recommendations will be detailed in your Karimi Stone quotation and technical documentation.
Bush Hammered Finish
A highly textured, non-slip surface created by controlled hammer impacts, giving the stone a natural, weathered character for demanding outdoor conditions.

WHAT THIS FINISH DOES

Deep texture, strong performance

In a bush hammered finish, a head fitted with multiple diamond or carbide points repeatedly strikes the stone surface. These impacts chip tiny craters 1–3 mm deep, breaking up the smooth face into a rugged, non-slip texture. The result is a naturally matte, highly tactile surface that feels solid underfoot and stands up to tough weather and heavy use.

High slip resistance
Rugged outdoor texture
Visually natural & matte

BEST PLACED FOR

Typical applications

this as a design guide only-final suitability is confirmed for each project.

Exterior stairs & entries
High traffic
Ideal for external steps, landings and building thresholds where you need extra grip in wet, dusty or icy conditions.
Public paths & plazas
Urban outdoor
Performs well on pavements, plazas and circulation areas exposed to rain and heavy pedestrian movement.
Driveways & ramps
Sloped surfaces
Recommended for sloped vehicle areas and access ramps where additional texture helps reduce the risk of slipping.

Project-specific guidance

Bush hammered finishes behave differently on each stone, depending on density, thickness and mineral structure. Use this view as a visual and performance guide only. Detailed thickness requirements, edge treatment options and any bush hammered + brushed combinations are confirmed on your Karimi Stone quotation and technical documents.
Brushed & Tumbled Finish
A character-rich surface that combines a softly brushed texture with gently worn, rounded edges for an antique yet refined look.

WHAT THIS FINISH DOES

Soft, leather-like texture
The tumbled process softly wears back edges and corners, creating a rounded, timeworn profile with an antique feel. Brushing then moves across the surface with wire brushes, opening the softer areas and polishing the harder minerals. Together, they create a stone that feels naturally aged, gently textured and visually calm, with no sharp edges under hand or bare feet.
Antique, lived-in character
Softened edges & corners
Textured, low-glare surface

BEST PLACED FOR

Typical applications

this as a design guide only-final suitability is confirmed for each project.

Pool edges & terraces
Wet outdoor
Rounded edges and textured faces make this finish ideal around pools, terraces and steps where bare feet and slip-resistance both matter.
Garden paths & courtyards
Landscapes
Delivers a softly aged, European-style feel for pathways, courtyards and intimate outdoor rooms with a relaxed, informal character.
Feature entries & stairs
High touch
Perfect for entrance landings, external stairs and thresholds where you want a tactile, durable finish that looks established from day one.

Project-specific guidance

Brushed & tumbled finishes will express differently on each stone, depending on hardness, colour and veining. Use this view as a visual guide only – detailed performance, edge details and format options are confirmed on your Karimi Stone quotation and technical documentation.

Brushed (leathered) Finish

A softly textured, low-glare surface created with wire brushes – similar to natural leather under hand, with gentle movement across the stone.

WHAT THIS FINISH DOES

Soft, leather-like texture
Instead of polishing with hard abrasives, wire brushes work across the stone surface. They ease into the softer veins and tiny pores, gently deepening them while polishing the harder areas. The result is a lightly uneven, tactile surface that feels soft and natural rather than glossy.

Leather-like touch

Low-glare, refined look

Subtle texture variation

BEST PLACED FOR

Typical applications

Living areas

Interior floors

A warm, tactile alternative to high-gloss finishes in lounges and family spaces where you want softness underfoot.
Feature walls

Vertical surfaces

Highlights the natural movement of the stone on fireplaces, TV walls and entry moments without strong reflection.
 
Covered terraces

Indoor–outdoor

Ideal for semi-outdoor rooms and verandas where you want gentle texture transitions smoothly from inside to out.

Project-specific guidance

Brushed (leathered) finishes will look and feel slightly different on each stone, depending on colour, density and veining. Use this view as a visual guide only – final recommendations and performance details are provided on your Karimi Stone quotation and technical documentation.

Acid-washed finish

A honed stone treated with acid to create a softly etched, slightly coarse surface – adding slip resistance while keeping a natural, organic look.
WHAT THIS FINISH DOES
Subtle texture, more grip
In an acid-washed finish, a honed surface is treated with acid to lightly etch the stone. Different minerals react at different rates, so the face becomes gently irregular, adding a natural, tactile feel and improved slip resistance.
Etched, natural look

For areas intended to remain dry with controlled walking speeds – such as supermarket aisles, separate shops inside centres or dry lobby and corridor zones.
Retail aisles
Dry-only entries
Light traffic

P2 – light splash
Transitional & semi-wet areas

P2
For spaces where occasional water is expected but quickly managed – like hotel bathrooms, apartment kitchens, laundries and transition zones between wet and dry areas.
Hotel bathrooms
Apartment kitchens
Laundries

P3 – regularly wet public
Balanced everyday grip

P3
Used where wet conditions are common – entries and access ways, toilet facilities in public buildings, undercover car parks and fresh food retail areas.
Public entries
Toilet facilities
Undercover parking

P4 – high exposure
Wet, high traffic environments

P4
Selected for consistently wet and busy areas such as pool surrounds, communal showers, external ramps under 1:14 and service zones behind bars.
Pool surrounds
Communal showers
Light traffic

P5 – maximum grip
Demanding commercial use

P5
For the most demanding applications: commercial kitchens, loading docks under cover, steep external ramps, swimming pool ramps and stairs leading into water.

Slip Rating & Wet Pendulum Guide

A concise overview of P1–P5 slip ratings so you can align each Karimi Stone finish with the right space, moisture level and safety expectation.

OVERVIEW

P1 → P5 safety band
P1 P2 P3 P4 P5
What the Wet Pendulum Test (WPT) tells you
The WPT measures how slippery a surface becomes when wet. Each finish is given a P rating from P1 (higher slip risk) through to P5 (maximum grip). As the number increases, the expected slip resistance also increases.

RATING SCALE SNAPSHOT

From higher slip risk to maximum grip
Each Karimi Stone P icon below is your quick visual code before checking detailed applications.

P1 → P5  Left = smoother | Right = more textured

P1

Dry circulation

Higher slip risk

For dry-only walkways and light traffic areas where water is not expected on the surface.

P2

Light splash

Occasional moisture
Bathrooms, small kitchens and transition areas that see brief, easily managed water.
P3

Everyday wet public

Balanced grip
Entries, amenities, undercover car parks and fresh food retail where wet floors are common.
P4

High exposure

Wet, high traffic
Pool surrounds, communal showers and external ramps under 1:14 where water is constant.
P5

Maximum grip

Highest safety band

Commercial kitchens, covered loading docks and pool ramps or stairs leading into water.

HOW TO READ THIS POPUP

Start with water, movement and consequence
Consider how wet the floor can get, how quickly people move, and how critical a slip could be. Then use the cards below to align each area of your project with a suitable P rating before you select a Karimi Stone finish.

Variation reference cards

Near-Zero Variation – V0

Ultra-consistent tone with almost no visible shift between pieces. Ideal for gallery-like, minimal interiors where the surface should visually disappear.

Soft Variation – V1

Delicate, low-contrast changes gently break up the surface. A refined choice for calm kitchens, ensuites, and open-plan living spaces.

Moderate Variation – V2

Balanced, natural movement with visible differences in tone. Adds character and depth while staying easy to style with cabinetry and textiles.

Expressive Variation – V3

Stronger contrast from piece to piece with noticeable light and dark areas. Best when you want the surface to act as a key design feature.

High-Drama Variation – V4

Pronounced shifts in hue and tone, creating a richly patterned, statement finish. Ideal for feature walls, dramatic floors, or high-impact spaces.
