Sealing Travertine around the Pool Eastern Heights - Brisbane

Travertine is naturally resistant to mold and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for use around your pool in Eastern Heights.

Sealing travertine in Eastern Heights is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your pool surrounds. With proper sealing and maintenance, outdoor travertine in Eastern Heights requires minimal upkeep and can endure a lifetime.

Once travertine is laid, it's advisable to apply a deep-penetrating sealant to the surface. In regions near saltwater, like poolside or beachfront areas in Eastern Heights, dip-sealing pavers on all six sides may be worth considering to minimize the impact of potential efflorescence.

Is sealing outdoor travertine in Eastern Heights really necessary?
Given its numerous advantages in Eastern Heights, 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 Eastern Heights, it will be absorbed within seconds. Additionally, the porosity of travertine in Eastern Heights is influenced by its finish. For instance, highly polished travertine is less porous compared to travertine with a honed (matte) finish.

Travertine pavers excel when sealed for walkways, pool surrounds, courtyards, garden pathways, patios, and driveways in Eastern Heights.

Here is a list of the benefits associated with sealing your outdoor travertine in Eastern Heights:
  • Prevents Stains
  • Prevents discolouration
  • Provides UV protection against sun damage
  • Preserve the colour
  • Does not alter coefficients of friction or slip factor
  • Extends the life of your pavers
  • Reduces mold and algae growth
  • Helps eliminate the occurrence of efflorescence
  • Protect your Pavers

When your outdoor travertine is sealed in Eastern Heights, substances cannot readily penetrate the surface, so all you have to do is wipe them away as soon as you notice any potential stains.

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

Improper application of sealers in Eastern Heights can accelerate the decay of poolside travertine paving, as certain sealers may trap salt within the stone.
