What finishes (polished, honed, flamed) are best for granite outdoor planters in slippery conditions?
When selecting granite finishes for outdoor planters in slippery conditions, it’s essential to prioritize safety and durability. Polished granite, while sleek and attractive, can become slippery when wet, making it less ideal for high-traffic or wet areas. Honed granite offers a matte finish with slight texture, providing better traction and reducing slipperiness. For the most slip-resistant option, flamed granite is highly recommended. The flamed process creates a rough, textured surface by exposing the stone to high heat, making it perfect for outdoor use in rainy or damp climates. Choose honed or flamed finishes to ensure your granite planters remain both functional and stylish in slippery conditions.
