Sealing Travertine in Benchtops Contact Us - Kingborough - Hobart

Travertine readily absorbs liquids and stains, particularly when acidic foods come into contact with the stone.

Upon installing your travertine countertops in Kingborough, it's essential to have them professionally sealed with a durable penetrating sealer. Although no sealer can guarantee 100% effectiveness in preventing stains from seeping into your travertine countertops in Kingborough, water-based sealants provide the most protection.

Since travertine is calcium-based, acidic substances like vinegar and lemon juice should never be used to clean any travertine surface.

When using any cleaning products on travertine in Kingborough, ensure that their pH is neutral.

Due to the calcium content and porous nature of travertine in Kingborough, using acidic or harsh cleaners may scratch and damage the surface.

It's advisable to exclusively use a penetrating sealer that is food-safe for kitchens in Kingborough, avoiding topical sealers. Topical sealers hinder travertine's ability to breathe and may diminish its natural beauty.

This premium penetrating sealer in Kingborough boasts a special molecular structure, making it more resistant than other products.

Topical sealers create a glossy protective sheen on the surface of the stone in Kingborough, while penetrating sealers infiltrate the surface of travertine and shield the walls of each individual pore within its structure.

Applying a penetrating sealer will facilitate easier cleaning of the travertine while enabling the stone to breathe naturally.

• Need for frequent reapplication
• Requirement for complete removal before reapplication
• Hindrance of stone breathing, leading to trapped moisture
• Formation of a shiny surface film prone to scratching or scuffing
• Alteration of the color of travertine

Utilizing a long-lasting penetrating sealer for sealing in Kingborough not only aids in preventing staining but also prolongs the lifespan of your travertine, making routine maintenance significantly more manageable.

Impregnating penetrating sealants penetrate into the travertine substrate, saturating the microscopic pinholes and open fissures that constitute its natural texture.

A clear impregnating sealer won't alter the appearance or texture of your sealed travertine in Kingborough, won't impact the stone's ability to release vapor, and will have a longer lifespan compared to film-forming sealers.

Advantages include:

• Extended lifespan as the protection resides within the substrate, rather than just on the surface.
• Unaffected by UV light.
• Permits the stone to "breathe," allowing retained moisture to escape.
• Surface remains non-slippery.
• Enhances the life expectancy of travertine.

The wonderful aspect of this product is that you can safely use it in kitchen or food preparation areas in Kingborough without any concerns about toxicity.

The main purpose of a stone sealer is to offer stain resistance to porous travertine stone in Kingborough.

While sealing travertine won't entirely prevent liquids from absorbing into it, it will provide a window of time to wipe spills away before permanent damage occurs. Certain substances like red wine, oil, and grease can cause damage that may require heavy resurfacing machinery to remove.

Cleaning and maintaining unsealed travertine flooring can be challenging in Kingborough as surface contaminants swiftly penetrate the porous travertine structure, making them tough to eliminate.

The top-quality penetrating sealer available today is Australian-made, offering non-solvent formulations that are easy to apply using a brush, roller, or sprayer and dry within a few hours. These deep-penetrating travertine sealers are offered in a dry, invisible finish or a slightly wet, color-enhancing effect and boast a lifetime of 10 to up to 15 years.

• Select a high-quality, durable deep penetrating, impregnating sealer in Kingborough.
• Thoroughly clean your travertine before application to prevent dust and debris from being trapped once sealed.
• Follow proper application procedures and apply the appropriate number of coats in Kingborough.
• Keep in mind that with stone sealers, the quality typically corresponds to the price.

Travertine stone varies in hardness and is inherently porous. When a small amount of water is applied to an unsealed travertine surface in Kingborough, 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.

Incorporating fluoro-chemical technology, Australian GOLD represents the pinnacle of technology, offering unparalleled long-term protection against water and oil-based stains for travertine. Its micro-molecular formula chemically interacts with the stone surface to form a bond stronger than any other conventional sealer.
