Modern Stone Care: Matte Countertops in Houston

Matte Countertops in Houston

These days natural stone, such as, marble, granite, slate, travertine, and limestone, have become the most popular options for countertops. For a long time these stones, when selected were polished and sealed, giving a beautiful and sleek appearance that reflected light and made your space look sparkly and refined. There is a new option though, that is becoming increasingly popular in the world of design. This is a, “honed finish,” on your countertops. A honed finish takes your gorgeous natural stone and instead of leaving it with a shiny finish, makes it matte. This adds a lot of dramatic interest to a room because while it still beautifully displays the natural stone, it also is a less common finish on natural stone.

While this is a more popular look for natural stone countertops, you can also have your natural stone flooring honed to create this gorgeous matte finish. Many people wonder if it is as sustainable as a typical polish, the answer is yes! Honed natural stone is just as sustainable as polished!
