The quality of the stone is generally determined by how large the holes are that have to be filled. This stone is the more economical group of mass-produced floor and wall material. It is produced in a honed (smooth and low sheen), brushed (dimpled and slightly textured) or tumbled (antiqued) finish.

Borgata Pavers
Borgatas are a flashed clay brick, handmade in Mexico. Its unique multicolor look is unequaled in any other product. It is a seasonal product made by migrant workers. During the season, normally April through August, brick can usually be delivered with approximately two weeks notice. Common sizes are 4x8, 6x12, 12x12, 8x16. It is easy to split these bricks into veneers on ceilings, chimneys, walls, doors, windows, columns, and building facades. These bricks are also suitable to construct non-load bearing walls.
