Sealing Travertine in Kitchens Oak Flats - Wollongong

Due to their natural and porous nature, travertine tiles in Oak Flats do require sealing to help prevent staining.

Liquids such as water and oil can readily penetrate porous travertine in Oak Flats. Sealing provides a window of time to wipe away potential stains before any permanent damage sets in.

In kitchens in Oak Flats, it's essential to use only a penetrating sealer that is food-safe for travertine and avoid topical sealers. Topical sealers inhibit the breathability of travertine in Oak Flats and can diminish its natural beauty.

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

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

Drawbacks of topical sealers in Oak Flats may include:

  • 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

Impregnating penetrating sealants in Oak Flats penetrate the travertine substrate, infiltrating its microscopic pin-holes and open fissures inherent in its natural texture. A clear impregnating sealer preserves the original look and feel of your travertine, maintains the stone's vapor release capability, and offers superior longevity compared to film-forming sealers.

  • 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.
  • Improves the life expectancy of travertine

The great advantage of this sealer is that you can safely use it in kitchens or food preparation areas in Oak Flats without any concerns about toxicity.

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

Red wine, oil, and grease, in particular, can cause damage to travertine in Oak Flats that may require heavy resurfacing machinery for removal. While sealing travertine won't entirely prevent liquids from absorbing into it, it will afford you time to promptly wipe spills away before permanent damage sets in.

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

It's highly recommended to apply a deep penetrating impregnating sealer in Oak Flats to travertine floors for long-lasting protection and stain resistance.

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