Bush-hammering
Score
Flaming
it gives marble a rustic appearance
while eliminating any differences
and variations. This effect is obtained
using a hammer with pyramidal points,
and the end result can range from
extremely coarse to very fine, with
various intermediate degrees of finish
it consists in scoring the surface
creating narrow parallel strikes with
diamond-coated discs or a wide range
of tools with different profiles
it consists in a process using oxygen
and gas. The high-temperature flame
(2500 - 3000°C) is applied on the
surfaces to be treated, which undergo
thermal shock. This makes them dilate
and crack.
The surface texture will appear rough
and embossed. Since this vitrification
process improves resistance to
weather and erosion. Flaming is
especially recommended for exteriors
but requires skilful use only marbles
that are resistant to sharp temperature
changes.
