  • Marble Countertop Refinishing: Achieving a Matte Look

    Marble Countertop Refinishing: Achieving a Matte Look – A NOVA Stone Care Project

    At NOVA Stone Care, we specialize in restoring and refinishing natural stone surfaces to bring out their best qualities. Recently, we worked on a project where a client wanted to transform their polished marble countertops into a beautiful, low-maintenance matte finish.

    Project Overview

    The client loved their marble countertops but found that the polished surface showed etch marks, scratches, and fingerprints too easily. They wanted a softer, more natural look that would minimize maintenance while still preserving the elegance of marble.

    Our Process: Transforming Glossy Marble into a Matte Finish

    1. Surface Preparation
      • We carefully masked and protected the surrounding areas to prevent dust and debris from spreading.
      • We thoroughly cleaned the countertops to remove any surface contaminants.
    2. Honing the Marble
      • Using diamond abrasives, we methodically honed the surface to remove the glossy layer and achieve a smooth, uniform matte finish.
      • We used progressively finer grits to refine the texture while preserving the stone’s natural beauty.
    3. Detail Work & Final Touches
      • Any remaining imperfections were carefully blended to ensure a flawless finish.
      • The edges and corners were honed to match the newly refinished surface.
    4. Sealing for Protection
      • A premium penetrating sealer was applied to enhance stain resistance and preserve the matte look.
      • We provided the client with care instructions to help maintain the finish over time.

    The Results

    The outcome thrilled the client! The honing process gave the marble countertops a soft, elegant appearance while significantly reducing the visibility of scratches and etch marks. The surface was now easier to maintain, making it a perfect blend of beauty and practicality.
