Why honed jet mist instead of granite?

After some time how is the leathered via lactea turned out? Any regrets? Thanks for your help.

Honed vs Leathered; Floors

- Beautiful job. I read your response that sealing eased the issues of fingerprints & marks that many complain about with honed black granite. What about a leathered finish? Is that significantly easier to maintain? Do you have a strong preference for the look of honed? Also, can you please tell me what the flooring is & where it came from?

I am going to use absolute black on my countertops and was set on choosing the honed until I noticed how much fingerprints show up on it. it seems harder to maintain I'm surpriSED to hear that's not the issue.

The stone is very popular and we love the finish it holds up great !

The flooring is a natural oak and was finished with Minwax - Color is Provincial and English chestnut blend 60/40

Countertop

- I would like to go the same route in my remodel. Love the look of soapstone, but looking for something more durable. This honed jet mist seems to be the way to go... I have heard that a honed piece of granite can stain easily, what are your thoughts?

There are different varieties of soapstone with lower talc content that are harder than others. These are a good option for those who may not be prepared for the way soapstone ages... You can see a nice variety to choose from at www.soapstones.com

Does the sealer enhancer make the jet mist less susceptible to fingerprints and oil stains? How often do you have to seal it?

The client had her heart set on a Soapstone but when she saw this she immediately changed her mind... It is honed granite - Jet Mist

I've also seen one like this called Negresco honed granite, but might just be another name for it.

Paint?

- Thanks for the info re the granite. What color are the walls? I am in the middle of a remodel, likely using jet mist or antique brown, white cabinets. Thanks for your help.

Does honed show fingerprints? Need to decide between that & polished

This particular stone surface is well protected and doesn't show the finger prints really at all it has a sealer/enhancer applied to it.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Houzz added this to HonedApr 24, 2013

A honed granite counter can have a completely matte or slightly satin finish. The honed look can be achieved by simply ending the finishing process of buffing or polishing early, creating a customizable look.
