Can Polished Granite Be Honed?

Granite is a widely used natural stone in homes and businesses. Its popularity is due to multiple contributing factors including that it is a more accessible natural stone than many others; granite comes in a wide variety of color combinations, and known as a hearty material that can last for decades when properly cared for.

 

Traditionally, granite surfaces have been polished to the point of giving off a reflective sheen that catches the light. However, in recent years matted granite surfaces have been on the rise, when finished in a process known as, “honing.”

 

What Is Honed Natural Stone?  

Honed natural stone is the result of when the stone is left in a more natural state. The finish will be velvety and smooth, without the reflective shiny finish you see with polished natural stone. In some cases, honed surfaces will not show off all the colors of your granite to the same level as when it is polished. However, many home and business owners prefer the matte finish for its subtlety and interest.

 

Is It Possible To Go From Polished To Honed?

The simple answer to this question is yes. Natural stone surfaces can be manipulated through honing and polishing techniques to go from one state to the other. It is not recommended to transition your natural stone frequently or quickly between the two states because it can wear down the stone. If you have a granite or natural stone surface in your home or business that you wish to take from a shiny, reflective finish to a velvety matte finish, contact Modern Stone Care today.
