The appearance is very similar to that of a broken or divided fragment using the natural cutting technique but with more reliefs and protuberances.

In the past, this finish was used in rustic designs. However, today, it is oftentimes the protagonist of the most avant-garde spaces.

Obtaining the split face finish

The split face is carried out employing traditional tools that provoke the detachment of slabs and stone splinters using controlled impacts. Some instruments such as chisel, pointer or split recall the craft of stonework.
