Glazing
Glazing is a transparent or semi-transparent coating that is applied after a cabinet has been painted or stained. Glazing can significantly change the color or appearance of the cabinet finish.
With a honed finish, the stone polishing process ends before buffing, leaving a matte or low-gloss sheen that lacks the highly reflective, mirrorlike look of a highly poshed stone surface. The softer honed finish is particularly popular among homeowners wanting a low-sheen or slightly textured finished or an aged aesthetic.
