Stone flooring gives buildings a grandiose aspect but it may often be dangerous, due to its propensity to skidding, especially when wet.
Blasting can help these surfaces maintain their looks, while also giving them a certain degree of roughness, that would prevent accidents. The roughness level obtained depends on the sizes of the abrasive particles used. Apart from these skid-proof properties, blasting can also provide special aesthetic effects, by impressing models into the stone or by alternating the use of shiny and opaque materials.
