Honed Vs Polished Limestone

Limestone flooring can have different finishes, depending on your aesthetic preferences and the area’s use.

  • Honed Limestone: A honed finish is smooth but matte. It’s less slippery than polished limestone, making it a good choice for high-traffic or wet areas such as bathrooms. Honed limestone is also less prone to showing scratches.
  • Polished Limestone: A polished finish is shiny and reflective, giving your space a more luxurious feel. Polished limestone is perfect for entryways, kitchens, and living areas where you want to highlight its natural beauty.

Understanding the difference between these finishes helps you decide whether you need polishing services or a restoration process to hone the stone. Polished limestone requires regular maintenance to keep its lustre, while honed surfaces may need occasional touch-ups.

Limestone Floor Polishing Process

Our limestone floor polishing process involves several key steps:

  1. Inspection: We first assess the condition of your limestone floor, identifying scratches, stains, and dull spots.
  2. Cleaning: A thorough cleaning is conducted to remove dirt, grease, and other contaminants.
  3. Grinding: If the floor is heavily scratched, we use a grinding process to smooth out any uneven areas.
  4. Polishing: We apply specialised polishing pads and compounds to restore the shine of the limestone. The polishing is done in multiple stages to achieve the desired level of gloss.
  5. Sealing: After polishing, we apply a sealer to protect the limestone from stains and moisture.

Our multi-step process ensures that your limestone floors not only look stunning but are also protected for the long term.

Benefits of Professional Limestone Floor Polishing

Polishing limestone floors offers several benefits:

  • Enhanced Appearance: Polishing brings out the natural beauty and colour of limestone, giving your space a more luxurious feel.
  • Increased Durability: Polished limestone is more resistant to scratches and daily wear, extending the life of your flooring.
  • Improved Hygiene: A polished surface is easier to clean, reducing the accumulation of dirt and bacteria in the stone’s pores.

Cost-Effective: Regular polishing is a cost-effective way to maintain your limestone floors, preventing the need for expensive repairs or replacement in the future.

Maintaining Polished Limestone Floors

After polishing, it’s important to maintain your limestone floors to keep them looking their best. Here are some tips:

  • Regular Cleaning: Use a soft broom or vacuum to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals; instead, use pH-neutral stone cleaners.
  • Mop Carefully: Use a damp mop rather than a wet one to clean polished limestone floors. Excess water can seep into the stone and cause damage.
  • Seal Regularly: A stone sealer should be applied every 1-2 years to protect the surface from stains and moisture.

Proper maintenance will ensure that your limestone floor remains beautiful and functional for years to come.
