I know exactly what you mean, I find that some factory honed finishes are left less than desirable. The tiles look great individually but in a 500sqft lets say for example, they look dirty and filmy. Inconsistent would be the better word.  I also use a honing powder t render them constant in appearance.  I have tried simply using a stone soap and scrub brush and although it does help it somewhat, its still inconsistent.

Subject: [sccpartners] Detailing Honed Marble Floor !

 

Over the years I have had a number of jobs removing the cloudy foggy look off of newly installed honed limestone flooring. I have used 800 grit honing powders and the job came out great. Now I’m looking @ a newly installed honed marble floor. Again it is blotchy and cloudy looking. The homeowner wants a clean consistent look.

My thoughts are that using 800 grit powders is over kill and I could accomplish the same with attaching a scrub brush to my machine and use a good cleaner.

Would appreciate any feedback!

 

Thanks,

Roger Konarski
