Some of our customers have owned travertine for years and understand that it's a special kind of natural stone with its own unique advantages and problems. But if you are unfamiliar with travertine, it's especially important that you keep reading.
We have the solution for virtually any problem you are experiencing with your travertine — even holes and cracks.
Holes in Travertine:
Travertine is unique in that it naturally has holes, which are filled or unfilled depending on the owner's preference. Some like the rustic, outdoorsy look of unfilled travertine; others, not so much.
Filled Travertine:
If holes are not your thing, we can fill them for you and then give your travertine a velvety-smooth or glossy finish. From time to time, filled holes become exposed. We can easily refill them and blend the filled area with the surrounding finish.
Unfilled travertine:
For unfilled travertine, dirt and grime will inevitably get trapped in the holes. We can provide deep cleaning services to remove embedded soils, improving its cleanliness and appearance but preserving its untamed elegance.
Travertine problems and our solutions:
Whether filled or unfilled, travertine is subject to subtle forms of damage, such as a dull, dingy-looking surface or light etches and scratches, and more severe damage such as cracks, chips, or deep etches and scratches. We can resolve almost any travertine problem, repairing travertine cracks and chips and honing to remove travertine etching and scratching. We can refinish your travertine to restore its satin/matte finish or give it a glass-like polish.
Complete travertine services:
Travertine is a beautiful natural stone that can be used for a variety of applications, including flooring, countertops, and walls. It has a unique texture and earthy color that can add warmth and character to any space. However, over time, travertine can lose its shine and luster due to wear and tear, foot traffic, and exposure to water and other liquids.
Travertine polishing is a process that can restore the stone's original beauty and shine. It involves using specialized equipment and techniques to remove scratches, stains, and etch marks from the surface of the stone. The process also smooths out any rough spots and enhances the stone's color and texture.
Before polishing, the travertine surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt, debris, or stains. This is typically done using a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft-bristled brush or mop. Once the surface is clean and dry, the polishing process can begin.
The first step in travertine polishing is to use a coarse-grit diamond abrasive pad to remove any surface scratches, etch marks, or stains. The abrasive pad is attached to a rotary buffer and applied to the surface in a circular motion. This process is repeated with progressively finer diamond abrasive pads until the desired level of shine and smoothness is achieved.
After the polishing process is complete, the surface of the travertine is typically sealed with a high-quality sealer. This helps to protect the stone from future damage, stains, and etch marks, and also enhances its natural beauty.
Travertine polishing should be done by a professional stone restoration contractor with experience in working with natural stone. Attempting to polish travertine on your own can result in damage to the stone and may be costly to repair.
In conclusion, travertine polishing is a process that can restore the natural beauty and shine of this beautiful natural stone. If you have travertine surfaces in your home or business that are looking dull or worn, consider hiring a professional stone restoration contractor to restore them to their original luster. With proper care and maintenance, your travertine surfaces can continue to enhance the beauty and value of your property for years to come.
