What is bush hammering?

Bush hammering is a technique used in the masonry and construction industry for texturing and shaping stones and concrete surfaces. The process involves using a specialized tool known as a bush hammer, which has several small, pointed, and pyramid-shaped steel points on its head. When struck against a surface, the points create small, uniform indentations that give a rough and pitted texture, which is used to create slip-resistant surfaces, improve adhesion, or create an aesthetic finish. Bush hammering is popular for flooring, walls, and facades, and it can be applied to a wide range of materials, including concrete, marble, granite, sandstone, and limestone. The technique is commonly used in both modern and historic building projects and has become a popular design trend for interior and exterior finishes.
