The cut-broken stone finish combines controlled cutting with mechanical breaking. Parallel grooves or relief lines are first cut into the prepared stone surface. The raised sections between the cuts are then broken manually or mechanically to produce an irregular, deeply textured face.
Unlike split-face, which exposes a natural break through the full prepared piece, cut-broken retains a visible relationship with the original cutting pattern. This creates a surface that combines ordered lines with broken projections, strong shadows and natural variation.
Cut-broken stone is primarily used for vertical architectural applications, including exterior façades, entrance walls, garden walls, columns, villas and interior decorative cladding. Because the broken surface is uneven and difficult to clean, it is generally unsuitable for countertops or standard pedestrian flooring. Surface depth, base thickness, edge condition and acceptable breakage range should be approved before production.
