What is travertine

Gentler in texture compared to marble, travertine can impart a sense of warmth and welcoming ambiance to any space, contrasting with the sleekness of highly polished stones.

Travertine is frequently the favored option for both indoor and outdoor flooring, wall coverings, bathroom tiles, paving, fireplaces, door surrounds, building facades, stairs, and numerous other applications. Renowned for its superior quality, resilience, and endurance, it stands as a testament to lasting excellence.

Travertine exhibits a smooth granular surface, often originating in clear, warm, shallow marine environments. These waters provide ideal conditions for organisms to extract calcium carbonate from the ocean, contributing to the formation of travertine.

Travertine typically comprises a minimum of 50% calcium carbonate in the form of calcite, derived predominantly from marine organisms' shells and bones. It's not uncommon to encounter fossils and shells within travertine, adding intriguing depth and character to the stone's honed, matte finish.

Over millions of years, the process of lithification, driven by heat and pressure, transforms sediment infused with fossilized marine life into travertine. While naturally white in its pure form, travertine may acquire coloration from various substances. Additionally, all travertine contains trace amounts of other materials, such as quartz, feldspar, clay minerals, pyrite, or siderite.

The aesthetic allure, effortless upkeep, and health advantages of travertine render it an ideal choice for flooring in your home. With a range of finishes and its enduring nature, travertine can infuse your floors with a blend of rustic charm and elegant sophistication.

Due to its porous nature and varying levels of hardness, travertine always requires a sealant to safeguard against stains and maintain its fresh appearance.

Regular maintenance of travertine, once properly sealed, not only enhances protection but also facilitates effortless cleaning using a broom or a mild soap and water solution as needed. This means that after returning home from the beach with sandy towels, feet, or bags, you can simply sweep away the sand without hassle.

How can I seal my travertine?

Select a reputable company with specialized equipment and expertise to properly seal and maintain your travertine after installation.

Maintain cleanliness of your sealed travertine, promptly wipe up spills, and clean periodically.

Professional cleaning not only eliminates surface dirt but also extracts deeply embedded dirt within the pores of travertine.

Reach out to a professional stone floor maintenance company equipped with the necessary tools and expertise to ensure your valuable surfaces meet your expectations.
