Granite Countertops—Polished vs. Leather What Is The Difference?

In our showroom, we often get asked questions in regards to finish options, as there are a number of choices. In this blog, I wanted to take a look at the difference between a polished finish and a leather finish.

Let’s take a look at a picture of the same stone in 2 different finishes…

Cosmos Granite Sample (Left Side -Polished Finish, Right Side-Leather Finish)

The granite sample above shows the color, Cosmos, with the left side polished and the right side in a leather finish. Both finishes are smooth, but definitely have a different look to them. The polished finish has a gloss, mirror finish and is more reflective. It is the most popular choice for granite countertops and best choice in regards to staining and scratching factors (very slim). The leather finish is smooth and soft and often appears slightly more polished than a honed finish, but offers a slight texture. It is a fairly popular choice for granite countertops, especially to those consumers who are interested in a granite, but prefer a unique look. Like a honed material, it is also more susceptible to staining and scratching than one that is polished.

Whether you are looking for a polished finish for your granite countertops, or a finish that offers a little different look, we can help with your questions. Stop by our showroom today for answers.
