I have some questions regarding the granite panel finish, like polished vs tooth-chiselled. My current office tower project need to use granite panel cladding for the exterior wall. Generally I feel the tooth-chiselled finish is more suble and elegant for an office tower. But I guess it is easy to get dirty. Is my concern an issue? What is the pro and con for using tooth-chiselled finish?
I would like to listen to you guys's opinion. THANKS.
Holz. This is true with FRP board. That is why the health code police love the nubby stuff in commercial kitchens. There have actually been studies done on it for hygene reasons....so I'm sure they would hold up to the grafffti police.
There's lots of tooth-chiseled granite in graffiti vulnerable spots in downtown Los Angeles. I'm sure you can find a anti-graffiti coating that will work - granite, even when roughly finished is not especially porous.

granite surface finish issue
Hi, all,

Generally I feel the tooth-chiselled finish is more suble and elegant for an office tower. But I guess it is easy to get dirty. Is my concern an issue?

won't anti-graffiti coat adhere more consistently to the polished?
