Specification processes are shifting after an extended immersion in the digital realm. With more time spent working remotely, there is a greater reliance on solutions that support an increasingly digital specification process. Now professionals can visualize Polycor natural stone products in a variety of finishes with an interactive tool that helps support material finish selections, streamlining physical sampling needs.

Flat scans of stone samples do not adequately capture the inherent characteristics of the material. And with new finishing technologies producing interesting textures on stone surfaces, the subtle qualities can often be missed. Only with the changing perspectives of light and viewing angle is the eye able to notice the undulations of antiqued finishes or the muted luster of honed slabs, for example.

It is with this in mind that Polycor implemented new technology to better view stone samples from the screens of computers and mobile devices. Mouse over a stone sample thumbnail on Polycor’s product pages and click "See Video" to pop up a slider which allows users to pull a light source across the stone’s surface, revealing the look and feel of the stone.
