S Black – Honed

S Black – Honed: Understated Luxury and Matte Finish

S Black Granite (Honed) transforms the intense shine of traditional polished granite into a subdued, satin-like surface. The honing process abrades the stone to create a smooth, matte finish that shifts the color palette from jet black to a refined dark charcoal or anthracite. This finish preserves the stone’s granular “salt and pepper” structure while eliminating glare, resulting in a material that feels velvety to the touch yet remains structurally rock-hard.

Ideal for contemporary design schemes, the honed finish offers distinct practical advantages. It effectively masks smudges, fingerprints, and minor surface wear better than high-gloss alternatives. Furthermore, the lack of a slippery polish provides better traction, making it a safer and more practical choice for flooring in high-traffic commercial zones and residential wet areas.
