Most people assume or believe that honing and polishing refers to the same thing during the marble restoration process. However, there are some minor differences.

A polished finish leaves the floor looking shiny and glossy.
On the other hand, a honed finish is not as shiny or reflective as a polished one.
Most homeowners tend to believe that shine present on marble floors is achieved through the application of certain chemicals.

However, marble polishing is a process that utilizes physical techniques, to restore the shine.
There are certain rare instances when chemicals are used during the polishing, especially when the marble is etched.
The shiny polish is a result of high friction using stone polishing machines at the factory before it is shipped to the customer.

Restoring Marble Floors

Marble polishing is a very crucial process, during marble restoration.
As previously noted, polishing without honing does not remove accumulated scratches or etch marks.
Honing comes before polishing. Honing is a complex process that involves the restoration of marble floors, using diamond encrusted pads to hone or scratch the marble surface.

The honing process starts with the use of grit diamond pads, which remove a marble layer.

The process is then continued using diamond pads until the surface attains the desired polished finish.
Once the marble attains some reflective properties, the next step is polishing, using polishing powders.
The last step is more of a chemical process, as opposed to mechanical polishing.
This process should only be undertaken after honing.
Etch marks on marble occur when acidic substances come into contact with marble surfaces and then reacting with the calcium present in the marble.
If the etches are not severe, a simple polishing using polishing powder is enough to remove them. However, if the etch marks are too deep, the floors must be honed and then polished.

If you have marble floors, whether at your place of business or at home, then they will require polishing at some point.
If the floors have stayed for many years without any form of maintenance, then they will first have to be honed, before they can be polished.
Polishing marble is a multi-step process, which can take several days to accomplish, especially if the floor is large.
