What is a Polished Granite Counter? 

A polished granite counter is a granite countertop that appears to be shiny, rather than having a matte look. Many homeowners choose to have a polished finish on their granite countertops. The look of this beautiful natural stone is further enhanced by the shine that is produced with this finish. Although polished granite countertops are more commonly seen, there is another option for a finish you can choose: Honed.

Finish Options: Polished vs. Honed 

While a polished finish will give your countertop a distinctive shine, a honed finish will give the surface more of a matte look. Some homeowners prefer to have a subdued look to their granite countertops, and therefore choose a honed finish.
