Are honed or suede finished granites less durable than polished granite?
The processes used to hone or antique a granite slab do open up the pores on the surface of a stone, so using a good sealer (like Miracle’s Porous Plus) is important to close off those tiny capillary openings. These materials are still granites, though, so their resistance to heat and scratches and their durability are all still the same. For more information about granite, click here.
