Tumbled Edge Finish for Natural Stone Products

The tumbled edge finish is a stone processing method that softens and rounds the edges of natural stone to create a worn, aged, and natural appearance. This finish produces smooth, slightly irregular edges that replicate the look of naturally weathered stone. Tumbled edges are widely used in classical, Mediterranean, and rustic architectural designs where a soft and timeless visual character is desired.
On this page, you can explore our natural stone products with tumbled edges available in different stone types, colors, surface finishes, and applications. The listed products include various materials and processing options suitable for both interior and exterior architectural projects.

What Is a Tumbled Edge Finish?

A tumbled edge is created by placing stone pieces in a tumbling machine with abrasive materials. During this process, the edges and corners are gradually softened and rounded through controlled friction. The result is a smooth edge with natural irregularity and an aged appearance.

  • Soft rounded edges with worn natural look
  • Antique and weathered appearance
  • Smooth tactile surface
  • Reduced sharp corners for safer handling
  • Natural variation in edge profile

Each piece develops a unique appearance due to the tumbling process.
