 Hand Rocked Edges on Bluestone

Hand rocked edges are a traditional stoneworking technique that creates a rustic, chiseled border around bluestone pieces while maintaining dimensional accuracy.

Artisan Craftsmanship - Skilled craftsmen use hand tools to carefully chip and shape the stone edges, creating an irregular, textured profile that mimics naturally weathered stone. Each piece bears the marks of authentic handwork.

The Perfect Balance - Hand rocking combines the precision of sawn dimensions with the organic beauty of natural stone. The face remains flat and dimensionally consistent for easy installation, while the edges display rustic character and Old World charm.

Visual Appeal - The textured, irregular edges catch light and shadow, adding depth and interest to installations. This finish softens the appearance of cut stone while maintaining clean lines and professional installation standards..

 Bluestone Thermal Edge

Thermal edge is a modern finishing technique that applies a high-temperature flame to the cut edges of bluestone, creating a refined, textured border.

The Process - Intense heat is applied to sawn stone edges, causing the surface to fracture and flake at a microscopic level. This creates a lightly textured, non-reflective finish that softens the stark appearance of raw cut edges.

Refined Aesthetic - Thermal edges provide a subtle texture that's more uniform than natural or hand-worked edges, yet softer and more organic than plain sawn cuts. The result is a contemporary look with natural appeal.

Practical Benefits - The textured surface slightly rounds sharp corners, creating a more comfortable, safer edge. Reduces glare and provides a finished appearance that complements thermal top surfaces perfectly.

Consistent Results - Unlike hand-worked edges, thermal finishing produces uniform results across all pieces, ideal for projects requiring visual consistency and modern precision.

Applications - Pool coping, step treads, patio borders, wall caps, and any application where clean lines meet refined texture.

Modern finish, timeless stone

 Bullnose Bluestone Edge

A bullnose edge features a smooth, rounded profile along the front edge of bluestone, creating an elegant, finished appearance with enhanced safety and comfort.

Safety & Comfort - Eliminates sharp edges that can cause injury or discomfort, making bullnose edges ideal for high-traffic areas, pool coping, steps, and anywhere people gather. Particularly important for barefoot areas and family-friendly spaces.

Refined Elegance - The smooth, rounded profile adds a sophisticated, finished look that elevates the overall design. Popular in contemporary, modern, and upscale traditional installations.

Durability - Rounded edges are less prone to chipping and damage than sharp corners, extending the life and appearance of the stone.

Applications - Pool coping, step treads, countertops, wall caps, seating walls, and any edge exposed to traffic or touch.

Smooth sophistication meets practical design.

 Chamfered Edge on Bluestone

A chamfered edge features a beveled cut along the top edge of bluestone, creating a subtle angled transition that adds definition and reduces chipping.

The Profile - Instead of a sharp 90-degree corner, a chamfer removes a small amount of material at a 45-degree angle, typically ranging from 1/8" to 3/4". This creates a clean, angular edge detail that’s both functional and decorative.

Practical Benefits - Chamfering eliminates the fragile sharp edge that’s prone to chipping during handling, installation, and use. This simple detail significantly extends the stone’s pristine appearance over time, especially in high-traffic applications.

Visual Definition - The angled edge creates a shadow line that adds subtle dimension and architectural interest. It provides a finished, intentional look that elevates the overall design without overwhelming the natural beauty of the stone.

Professional Appearance - Chamfered edges signal quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, making installations look polished and purposeful.

Applications - Step treads, pool coping, countertops, wall caps, hearths, and any application where durability and refined detailing matter.

Simple detail, lasting impact.

  Honed and polished finishes transform bluestone's natural texture into smooth, refined surfaces that showcase the stone's rich color and elegant character.

Honed Finish - A matte, smooth surface achieved through grinding with progressively finer abrasives. Honing removes the natural cleft texture, creating a flat, velvety appearance without gloss. The result is sophisticated and contemporary while remaining slip-resistant enough for most applications.

Polished Finish - Takes the honing process further with ultra-fine abrasives and buffing compounds to create a glossy, reflective surface. Polishing brings out the deepest colors and most dramatic veining in the stone, delivering a luxurious, high-end appearance.

Visual Impact - Both finishes reveal bluestone's true color depth and natural patterns that remain hidden beneath textured surfaces. Blues appear richer, grays more dramatic, and subtle veining becomes a striking design feature.

Applications:

• Honed: Interior flooring, countertops, fireplace surrounds, wall cladding, tabletops
• Polished: Luxury interiors, feature walls, decorative accents, high-end countertops

Maintenance Note - Polished surfaces show wear and require more maintenance than honed finishes. Both are primarily recommended for interior applications.

Smooth elegance, stone refined.
