-
Honed Finish –Flat, matte appearance. This finish is extremely smooth without the typical shine you’d see from quartz.
-
Busy households like the honed finish because it hides the appearance of smudges, streaks, and fingerprints in the light.
-
-
Polished Finish – High gloss shine that makes your countertop pop.
-
Require more maintenance to keep them clean and free of smudges or streaks.
-
-
Sueded Finish – Similar to a honed finish, gives more depth and texture.
-
Hide smudges and streaks, requiring less maintenance to keep them looking clean.
