Faux finish is a term that, sadly, is often misused. The true meaning of 'faux', is from the French, which means 'fake' or 'imitation'. A true "faux finish" is designed to imitate something else - ie. marble, stone, etc. - and it is this that differentiates it from the simpler glazing techniques.

 
Marble & Semi-Precious Stone
 
There are many variations of marble and semi-precious stones.  Finishes can be used to match existing installations, or create 'fantasy' stone/marble finishes. I have included a few samples...

Textural Stone Finishes
Interior/Exterior Applications

The look of textured stone is achieved through the application of multiple layers of materials combined with professional pigmentation systems to achieve authentic results.  The finishes are durable and suitable for interior or exterior application.
