Our travertine cleaning, polishing and restoration services
Travertine is another calcareous stone, like marble. It is a durable and attractive stone that is much softer than granite. Travertine flooring is often used as an alternative to marble as it is not only cost effective (marble is more expensive) but the polished or honed finish in travertine flooring can result in floors pretty much similar to marble flooring.
Travertine is a heavy, porous, naturally occurring stone formed in hot springs and limestone caves, and is known for its durability and versatility. It is a firm favourite for things like bathroom tiles and floors, but has a wide range of uses. It is generally very low-maintenance and takes a variety of elegant-looking finishes.
Travertine tiles are considered as an ideal flooring option by many homeowners, architects and interior decorators due to many different reasons. Travertine stone is renowned for its strength and endurance to resist damage, staining and corrosion makes it a suitable flooring option. Travertine can be used both indoors and outdoors and can last a very long time with just minute scratches or chips if they are maintained properly.
Given its porous nature and high mineral content, travertine is vulnerable to damage from various different liquids. Like marble, it is sensitive to vinegar and other acidic substances, so you should approach cleaning and polishing travertine in the same manner as you would marble.
Keeping travertine free from marks and other stains can be a huge challenge unless it's properly polished and professionally sealed.
Of course, as with all natural stones, scrapings, chippings and scratches can happen, particularly in high traffic areas.
While you could clean and maintain travertine yourself, it’s really a job that calls for professional expertise.
