Outdoor Travertine Sealer North Hobart - Hobart

Sealing outdoor travertine in North Hobart 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 North Hobart, 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 North Hobart?

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 North Hobart, 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.
