Quality Stone Restoration can produce the brilliance of a high polish, elegance of a satin finish, or the warm, gentle glow of a quality hone.
More than anything, polishing or honing your marble, travertine, limestone, granite, or other natural stone is a matter of personal preference. What do you enjoy looking at most, and what are your maintenance preferences?
Each finish level has its advantages and disadvantages. The higher the polish, the easier it is to clean and keep clean due to its smoothness. On the downside, any etch marks caused by acidic liquids coming into contact with the stone are much more visible due to the contrast of the dull etch mark against the highly polished stone. With a low hone level, etch marks are much less visible due to less contrast.
The disadvantage to honed stone is the maintenance aspect. On a microscopic level, the surface of a honed floor is very rough compared to a polished surface. That additional texture grabs dirt and grime easier, holds on to it better, requiring professional maintenance more frequently.
In short, dirt is generally more well hidden on polished surfaces; etches are more well hidden on honed surfaces. In the end, it’s all about your personal preferences.
My black stone shower floor gets white and drives me nuts. Only 3 years old and little ole me is the only one who showers, the shower floor looks like... read more white scum all over. Will suggested a sealer and is very knowledgeable about stone and the reaction to cleaners etc. He coated my shower floor and also cleaned my carpets. He is willing to come back if the 2 coats of sealer need more attention.
I am impressed with his knowledge of tile and his fistedness at cleaning and care. Hopefully this coating will last a year but if not he will reseal the tile. The willingness to stand by his work is very important to me.
