Stone Honing

Our Melbourne Natural Stone Honing Services

At Stone and Tile Experts we hone many types of natural stone. This includes marble, sandstone, granite, limestone, slate and bluestone as well as other natural and engineered stone surfaces. 

Natural stone that is honed has a matte finish, rather than a polished finish – meaning it is not as slippery as a polished surface. It is a popular style of surface for natural stone outdoor paving. In Melbourne, honed bluestone, is very popular for outdoor paving.

Honing is done by polishing the natural stone surface with specialised machinery. However, this process is stopped before a glossy surface is achieved. Honing is becoming increasingly popular for people looking for a more subtle and relaxed look.

To keep a natural stone matte surface looking at it’s best, it needs to be honed on a regular basis. This is particularly true for outdoor natural stone that is exposed to damage from the sun, rain, wind, pool chlorine and leaf matter.

As a general rule we recommend that your natural stone floor should be honed and resealed every one to three years.
