Drag the slab to turn it, or use the arrow keys. Switching finish re-renders the surface — polished throws a hard specular, the abraded finishes open the surface up and knock the colour back.
Hashma is one of the denser Egyptian beiges, and its finish list tells you what that density is for: it is the only marble in this range supplied without a polished grade at all. Honed, brushed, sandblasted, bush-hammered — every one of them is a surface meant to be walked on wet, hosed down or cleaned hard. That is why it turns up on facades, external paving and pool surrounds rather than in lobbies. Honed, it holds a matt, slightly waxy face that does not show scratches the way gloss does, which is also why it works on interior floors and stairs inside the same building as the terrace outside. Treads, risers and copings can be taken from the same material as the paving they sit in, since steps and sills are both supplied formats. Availability is medium rather than continuous, so confirm quantities for a large elevation early.
Golden Sinai is the only other marble here offered bush-hammered, and it is specified for the same reason — density that survives outdoors. The difference is colour: Golden Sinai is a deep gold, Hashma a neutral beige, so on an elevation that has to stay quiet Hashma is the one to price.

Photographs
Hashma Beige in the yard
Photographs of our own blocks, slabs and finished work. Slab photography shows one slab — the block it came from is what you are quoted against.
Laid out
Hashma Beige across a floor
A photograph shows one slab on a stand. This shows the stone tile after tile — where the pattern repeats, how far the tone drifts across a batch, and what the joint does to it. Every tile here is cut from a different part of the surface, the way material comes out of a real crate.
Indicative layout. Tone drift is deliberate — no two tiles from one batch match exactly, and a laid floor should never look like one photograph repeated.
In the room
Hashma Beige against your wall colour
Nobody buys stone on a white background. Put Hashma Beige on the floor, up the wall or across a worktop, set the colour it will actually sit against, and change the light — the same three questions every client asks on a site visit, answered before the sample ships.
A scene, not a render of your project: proportions are indicative and colour on a screen is never the colour in a room. Send us the drawings and we will lay the real slab sizes out against your setting-out.

Asked about this stone
Hashma Beige — questions buyers ask
Why is there no polished Hashma?
It is the only marble in this range with no polished grade offered at all. The list runs honed, brushed, sandblasted and bush-hammered — matt and textured surfaces, which is what the external and wet work it is bought for actually needs.
Which finish should I specify for a pool surround?
Brushed opens the surface into a low texture while keeping the colour warm; sandblasted gives an even fine-grained matt with good slip resistance. Bush-hammered is the aggressive option and is better suited to ramps and heavy external traffic than to a poolside.
Can the paving, the treads and the copings all be Hashma?
Yes. Steps and risers and sills are both supplied formats alongside slabs and tiles, so treads, risers and copings can come from the same material as the paving rather than being matched in from elsewhere.
Does it work indoors as well as out?
Interior flooring and stairs are both in scope. Honed it holds a matt, slightly waxy face that does not show scratches the way a polished beige does, so it stands up in circulation areas as well as on the terrace.
