The scratched stone finish is a linear mechanical treatment in which fine, parallel and relatively shallow lines are cut or engraved across the surface. Unlike deeper grooving, scratching generally produces a denser pattern with narrower lines and a more uniform visual texture.
The appearance depends on the spacing, width, depth and direction of the scratches. Fine, closely spaced lines reduce surface reflection and can make the stone appear more matte. On some gray stones, the treated surface may look slightly lighter because the cutting process exposes a fresh mineral surface. Wider or more widely spaced lines usually create less overall color change.
Scratched natural stone is mainly used for interior and exterior wall cladding, columns, decorative panels and architectural details. It can increase surface friction, but its suitability for floors, stairs or wet areas depends on groove direction, depth, cleaning requirements and slip testing.
