Honed Quartzite – The Most Popular Option For Smooth Finishing

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HONED QUARTZITE TILE OPTIONS

The honed vs polished quartzite debate is one that often rages, but for many it’s honed quartzite tiles that consistently come out on top. By skipping the final polishing stage you can create a seamless finish that is smooth to the touch but that also allows the natural structure of the stone to come to the fore. Not only that, it’s a great option when you want to create a striking contrast with other popular finishes like chiseled or flamed quartzite. 

One of the most striking ways to use quartzite is to finish your exterior space with a beautiful wall cap. Match it to your choice of pavers and wall tiles and you’ll see there really is something in our range for every taste and style. 

HONED QUARTZITE TILES PROVIDE PLENTY OF OPTIONS 

Your choice of honed quartzite tile allows you to change the look and feel of any indoor or outdoor space with ease, all while adding in something that’s durable and long-lasting. You can take your pick of finishes like matte and natural quartzite when looking for any type of inclusion, even coping, all so you can create a striking look with minimal effort. 

By taking the path of least resistance, you can create a stunning home that invites your guests through the door and impresses them on every level. It’s what luxury finishing and detailing is all about, and we know it’s something you’ll never grow tired of.

WHAT IS HONED QUARTZITE?

Quartzite that has been highly polished to provide a much smoother finish than if the stone had been left after splitting from the block has been honed. This can give something a polished look that is often preferred in contemporary settings. 

SHOULD QUARTZITE BE HONED?

The choice is your thanks to the comprehensive range here at Stone & Tile. While the improved resistance to water ingress is a plus, honing is more of an aesthetic choice — waterproof sealant can be easily applied to any style of quartzite you choose from our range. 

HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN HONED QUARTZITE?

Regular cleaning with a cloth and water, or a light setting on a jet wash if cleaning a large outdoor area, is all it takes. Making this a part of your monthly routine will ensure the finish stays exactly how you want it for many more years to come.
