Acid Wash Granite for Jaipur
Controlled acid etching creates an antiqued, vintage stone surface
Artisanal Texture & Slip Performance of Acid Wash Finish
The acid wash finish involves the controlled application of a dilute acid solution to the stone surface. The acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in marble and limestone, gently etching the surface to create a softly matte, antiqued appearance. The result is reminiscent of century-old stone floors found in Tuscan villas and Rajput palaces. The finish is particularly popular for travertine and limestone for heritage and classical interior projects.
Ideal for luxury architects specifying non-reflective matte surfaces for minimalist living rooms, pool surrounds, and exterior cladding.

No. Acid wash relies on a chemical reaction with calcium carbonate. Since granite does not contain calcium carbonate, acid washing has no texture effect on it.
