The 1\" version is generally reserved for \"wet-laid\" projects where the stone is mortared to a concrete slab. The thicker stone offers much better long-term resistance to cracking and shifting in changing climates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is a \"Flamed\" finish?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA flamed (or thermal) finish is created by applying high-intensity heat to the stone's surface. This causes the surface crystals to pop, leaving a beautiful, dimpled texture that is highly slip-resistant. It is the preferred finish for luxury pool surrounds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan I use these for a driveway border?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes.
