Outdoor Travertine Sealer Paluma - Townsville

Sealing outdoor travertine in Paluma is crucial for preserving the quality of your landscape and surroundings. Properly sealed and maintained outdoor travertine will demand minimal upkeep and endure for a lifetime.

Upon laying the travertine in Paluma, it's advisable to apply a deep-penetrating sealant. In regions near saltwater, such as around a pool or close to the beach, dip sealing pavers on all six sides may be beneficial to minimize the potential effects of efflorescence.

Does outdoor travertine truly require sealing in Paluma?

With its numerous advantages, it would be unwise not to!

Travertine stone varies in hardness and is inherently porous. When a small amount of water is applied to an unsealed travertine surface in Paluma, it will be absorbed within seconds. Additionally, the porosity of travertine is influenced by its finish. For instance, highly polished travertine is less porous compared to travertine with a honed (matte) finish.

Travertine is resistant to mold and bacteria, making it an excellent material for outdoor use, around your pool, or for your patio in Paluma.

Deep impregnating sealers are suitable for both indoor and outdoor travertine applications in Paluma and are particularly well-suited for wet rooms and swimming pool surrounds.

Topical sealers are not recommended for outdoor use with travertine in Paluma as they can create dangerously slippery surfaces and prevent moisture from escaping the stone, potentially leading to erosion.
