  • INTRODUCING YOUR HONED MARBLE OPTIONS

    Honed marble backsplashes and countertops are perfect when you want to enjoy the rich natural patterning of marble without the sheen of a material that’s been fully polished. This gives you control over how the marble interacts with the ambient light, allowing you to tone things down when you want decor that’s a little more understated. 

    Our honed marble flooring and molding options are popular choices for those looking to create a luxury interior that doesn’t feel overly ornate. This is all achieved by bypassing the final polishing stage that is responsible for adding the shimmering sheen. Ideal when you want nuanced decor that works on a variety of different levels. 

    HONED MARBLE TILES OFFER A MATTE FINISH 

    Honed marble countertops offer a timeless way to introduce bold colors and natural patterns that don’t introduce too much shimmer and shine. This allows you to create a homely look and feel that doesn’t risk coming across as too ornate when you don’t want it to. 

    Marble honed in this way is also a popular choice for use on the exterior of your property and can be used to create a striking ledgestone option. A flawlessly honed marble tile is not just a statement piece that introduces a rich aesthetic; it can also be used to achieve a real sense of balance and unity in any chosen space. Ideal when you want to make sure that no one element overshadows anything else in the vicinity.

    HONED MARBLE TILES ARE QUICK TO INSTALL

    Large marble tiles that have been professionally honed by our artisans are no more difficult to install than standard marble tiles. Our range of Thassos marble tiles is a good example of pieces that can be easily installed by anyone who has only a moderate degree of experience with DIY tiling. 

    If you want to make sure nothing is missed and you achieve a truly flawless finish, your local tiler will easily be able to take care of this type of job for you without delay. They will also be able to guide you through all your options when it comes to grouting and grout line sizes to achieve the perfect look. Ideal when you want to create a stunning visual that your friends and guests will remember for all the right reasons from the moment they walk through the door. 

    WHAT IS HONED MARBLE?

    Honed marble has been polished with specialist grinding stones to achieve a matte finish and a velvety touch. By stopping the polishing before the final stage, the finish stays matte while the texture remains smooth. This gives you a nuanced and versatile look and feel that adds a touch of luxury to any style of home. It will also make sure that your new marble inclusion doesn’t dominate the surrounding area by shining under the light if you don’t want it to. 

    HOW TO HONE MARBLE?

    Honing marble is a highly skilled job that should be undertaken by trained professionals to achieve the desired results. If you want to make sure you get the uniform finish you want to see in your home, Stone & Tile’s artisans make sure nothing is overlooked. Perfect when you want to achieve the right balance between velvet texture and matte finishing.
