Travertine Honing Perth

Travertine honing is the method used to give travertine a smooth, flat finish and improve its appearance. Travertine is a type of natural stone that is frequently used for home tiling. Through the process of honing, a floor made of travertine tiles can be improved and look even better.

The process of honing a travertine tile involves grinding the stone down to the appropriate texture and potentially filling the holes on its surface. This keeps the surface looking matte with a honed finish, making it more visually appealing.

Before and After Gallery

What are the benefits of honed travertine?

Honed travertine has a range of useful benefits when it’s used for your tiles. It can improve the texture, help with overall hygiene, and give a more appealing appearance.

Improving texture

The texture of travertine tiling can become uneven or rough through continuous use. This is particularly true for travertine being used in floor tiles. Part of the honing process aims to smoothen the uneven surfaces of the floors for a more comfortable walking experience. 

Enhancing hygiene

Being a naturally porous stone type, travertine tends to have tiny holes scattered throughout its surface. These have the potential to trap dirt or grime, so some people opt to have them filled. Honing can address this by filling these crevices. It’s much easier to clean travertine when it’s been honed.

Boost their aesthetics

While travertine tiles may already have the rustic appeal of natural stone, honing can take this to the next level. Throughout the process, even small abrasions are addressed and eliminated. This leaves you with a uniformly honed surface sheen on each travertine tile.

The honing process

The process of honing travertine is generally divided between cleaning, grinding, and filling. Cleaning prepares the travertine for honing whilst grinding flattens the surface of the tiles and filling seals the holes present.

Cleaning

The cleaning process utilises a solution of soap and water to eliminate any dirt or grime from the travertine tiles. This means scrubbing the surface of all the tiles, getting into the grout lines and removing dirt from the travertine’s pores.

Grinding

Grinding is done to provide uniformity to the surface of the travertine. The process typically involves using specialised pads that contain diamond abrasives. They start with coarse grits and move on to finer ones as the process continues. The end result is flat travertine tiles without visual imperfections.

Filling

Filling is an optional part of the travertine honing process. Travertine tiles come in both the filled and unfilled varieties. Whether you opt for filling is largely a matter of preference.
