Honing

Honing involves grinding a stone slab to a smooth, flat, consistent surface that leaves a matte look with a velvet-like touch. Benefits of a honed surface include increased durability and resistance to scratching. In the event of surface scratching, scratches on matte finishes are less visible since light doesn’t reflect as much as it does off a glossy, polished finish. Matte surfaces are also less slippery, making the finish a good choice for flooring and high-traffic areas. Suncoast Stone Restoration’s honing services will renew the natural matte aesthetics to your stone surfaces.
