What is a bush hammered finish?

A bush hammered finish is achieved through the use of a high impact machine or by hand using a masonry tool to uniformly pit the stone surface. It is also a finish that’s applied to concrete.

By repeatably impacting the material’s surface a rough, weathered texture is created. This can help enhance the natural tonal variations in the material and add more interest to a space.

Beyond aesthetics, a bush hammered finish offers functional purpose. When used on an existing concrete surface, it can help new concrete or another flooring material bond better to the surface.

For stone, a bush hammered finish creates a texture that is suitable for virtually anywhere indoors or out. It’s a popular finish for flooring in wet environments as the slip resistance rating is greater than other finishes of the same material such as honed.
