Frequently Asked Questions
- A: Honing and polishing produce fairly opposite results. Polishing produces a glossy finish while honing produces a more matte finish. Honed surfaces can hide some imperfections such as scratches, and some everyday dirt, whereas polishing will reflect light and imperfections more than a honed surface.
Q: What is the difference between your honing service and polishing service? - Stone Honing
Other FAQs :
- Q: Can honing leave my floors shiny?
- A: No, honing produces the opposite effect to having your floors polished. Honing will result in a smooth, matte, non reflective finish and will only appear shiny, or glossy where the honing process is followed by a polishing process.
- Q: Can honing remove lippage from tiling?
- A: Lippage is the term given to uneven tiles that are set higher than one another, which usually requires a more aggressive process than honing in order to create a completely flat surface. Grinding is recommended for excessive lippage.
- Q: How long will it take to hone my surfaces?
- A: This will depend on the size of the area; larger jobs can require up to 3 days while honing a bench-top can take up to half a day. Tile Cleaners® do try to ensure work is completed within the same day to avoid as much disruption to your home or business as possible.
- Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor?
- A: Tile Cleaning provides assistance with moving furniture during the floor sealing process. Their team of dedicated technicians is available to help with the relocation of furniture items that can be reasonably managed by one person, such as those with wheels or lightweight furniture like tables and chairs. However, it is important to keep in mind that while Tile Cleaning takes precautions to protect your belongings, they cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the furniture moving process. To ensure the safety of valuable or fragile items, it is recommended to either relocate them to a secure area or properly secure them before the technicians arrive. By taking these necessary precautions, you can help ensure the safety of your furniture and minimize the risk of potential damage while the floor sealing process is being carried out.
- Q: Can honing result in my surfaces becoming slippery?
- A: Honing can provide a degree of slip resistance to your surfaces. Polished surfaces are often slippery when wet and honing is an excellent way to create an extra degree of safety. Please call one of our knowledgeable customer service for more advice regarding your surface.
