A guy has asked if i can get him a sample of honed granite for his back steps, im polishing his front terrazzo insitu steps next week.

Now.. i don't think i have seen many honed ones about.. some speckled ones but blacks etc tend to be polished.. can you not just hone them..?

I thought you just done this sort of thing with a big floor..?

Just looked it up on google sounds like a lot of work would be better trying to find a honed granite also its a gray granite the guys asked for.

No we just polish and we have never polished granite before never really heard of it getting done before

All you are doing is taking down the surface from a polish to around 200 to 400 grit honed finish... but i agree.. buying is easier,,:lol:

google" flame textured granite" it is far better for steps than honed granite has a rougher more nonslip surface ,the granite is passed in front of gas blow torches and the surface flakes off and gives a rough finish ideal for steps and paving etc try pisani uk if you have trouble finding a supplier
