About Goheung Granite

With a flamed finish it becomes bright and rough, so it is widely used for floors, stairs, facades and landscape paving.

Where is it used?

Hard and resistant to water and frost, granite is used inside and out: facades, floors, stairs, landscape paving and kerbs, as well as kitchen and table tops.

Good to know when choosing

The same stone looks different depending on the finish: polished, it is darker and glossy; flamed or flamed & brushed, it is lighter, rougher and less slippery. Outdoor floors and stairs usually get a flamed finish, while interior walls and countertops are usually polished.
