English term or phrase: honed countertop
This countertop is terrible. You can see how the polished sample just absorbed everything like a sponge. The honed, still there’s a little bit because it’s not sealed but it really isn’t as bad as this.


Hola. No estoy segura de si se dice "sellada". el contexto es el siguiente: están testeando dos muestras de encimeras. Una lustrada, y el otro tipo, para ver en cuál quedan menos manchas. La encimera es de mármol.

Muchas gracias de antemano.

Spanish translation:Con acabado mate/satinado
Explanation:
Cuando el tope de cocina/cubierta de cocina es tratado por el método "honing" el mismo no resulta pulido, sino suave con un acabado mate, sin brillo. Este proceso deja el material tan próximo a pulido que se puede.

A "honed" finish can encompass a range of surface finishes that are all essentially smooth, but non-reflective.

You can have a rough hone or a high-hone or anywhere in between. The higher the grit number the finer the finish.

A high-hone will come the closest to a shiny surface a step before polishing marble and will show etch marks from acidic corrosion more than a rough hone would.

¿Tratado con un producto abrasivo? Partece ser lo que se hace justo antes de pulir la superficie.
