honed concrete

Honed Concrete is a type of mechanical refinement or resurface method used on natural stone & concrete floors.  In conjunction with polishing concrete, honing diamonds can also be used as a preparation method for other decorative applications and finishes. Honed surfaces have been refined, but not polished, so the sheen levels are lower by nature, yet porous to receive decorative applications, such as stains, dyes, surface repairs, skim-coats, densifiers, sealers & more.  A more aggressive approach to resurfacing a concrete floor is know as diamond grinding which precedes honing steps on a the CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) scale for concrete floor profiles.
