Not every space wants a mirror-like floor. Honing is the process of leveling the stone surface with diamonds and finishing it before the polishing stage to give it a matte or silky look. A honed floor highlights the natural texture of the stone, shows footprints and dust less, and reduces the risk of slipping on wet floors. We carry out honing in homes, hotels and businesses throughout Antalya, Mersin, Adana and Muğla.
Who is honing suitable for?
- Modern and minimalist interiors: For those who want a soft, natural look instead of a glossy reflection.
- Wet areas: Places exposed to splashing water, such as bathrooms, shower areas and kitchens.
- Homes with children and elderly residents: Living spaces where a reduced risk of slipping is desired.
- High-traffic areas: Entrances and corridors where scratches and marks should not show.
- Outdoor areas: Terrace, balcony and poolside floors.
What do we do in honing?
- Leveling: Lippage and deep scratches are removed with coarse diamonds.
- Matte or silky finish: The surface is stopped at the chosen level of sheen.
- Dulling a glossy floor: Polished floors can be honed to a matte look if desired.
- Protection: Since a matte surface leaves the pores more open, stain protection is applied with an impregnating sealer.
How do we work?
- Inspection and test: We try a matte and a silky finish on a small area and choose the result together.
- Preparation: We protect the furniture and the surrounding surfaces.
- Honing: We work the surface with progressive diamond pads until the chosen texture is reached.
- Sealing: We protect the matte surface against water and stains.
- Handover: We clean the area and explain how to care for the matte floor.
Is a matte floor harder to maintain?
A honed floor has more open pores than a polished one, so if it is not properly protected, it stains more easily. However, a matte floor treated with an impregnating sealer is easier to maintain than a polished floor, because scratches and marks are not as noticeable.
- Daily cleaning: A neutral stone cleaner and a damp mop are sufficient.
- Stains: Spilled liquids should be wiped up immediately.
- Sealer renewal: Depending on use, it is recommended to repeat it every few years.
Honing in Antalya, Mersin, Adana and Muğla
In recent years, matte natural stone has become the preferred choice, especially in new villa projects in Muğla and Antalya. We carry out honing in villas in Bodrum, Fethiye, Kemer and Belek, and in modern homes and offices in Mersin and Adana. We also work for those who want to turn their existing glossy floors into a matte finish.
