Honed Flagstone

A natural stone surface finish refers to the treatment or process applied to the surface of natural stone to achieve a particular texture, appearance, and functional property. These finishes are used to enhance the aesthetic appeal, durability, and slip resistance of the stone for various applications, including flooring, countertops, wall cladding, and outdoor paving.

Honed finishing is the most common process for limestone, many varieties of which do not accept a polish. A honed finish refers to a smooth surface with a dull or slightly reflective appearance, less glossy than a polished finish. In high-traffic areas, floor tiles are often honed rather than polished.
