Honed is a matte stone finish made by abrasive grinding without a high-gloss polish. Buyers order it when they want a smooth, low-sheen surface for floors and walls. In trade it is widely called apomazado in Spanish.
Filled finish means natural pores and cavities in the stone are closed with filler before final surfacing. It is common on travertine so the face reads solid rather than open-void. Spanish trade often says poro tapado or taponado; Turkish says dolgulu.
