granite surface finish issue

[cmrhm]

Hi, all,



I have some questions regarding the granite panel finish, like polished vs tooth-chiselled, flamed etc. My current office tower project need to use granite panel cladding for the exterior wall. Generally I feel the tooth-chiselled finish is more suble and elegant for an office tower. But I guess it is easy to get dirty because the building is in asia. This means it is located in polluted area. Also, the flamed surface would properly weaken the stone panel's structure. Is my concern an issue? What is the pro and con for using tooth-chiselled finish?

I would like to listen to you guys's opinion. THANKS.
