What is honed marble or travertine?
Marble, or travertine, that is honed has a matte or satin finish, rather than a high reflective polish. This is achieved at the factory by stopping just short of the last stage of polishing. One feature of honed marble is that it doesn’t show etching as readily, or wear patterns on floors. Some prefers it because it has a less formal, softer appearance than polished stone.
