Types of Natural Stone Floors - Travertine

Travertine: Travertine is a sedimentary limestone that is formed in mineral springs. Pure travertine is very light colored. The darker colors are formed by mineral impurities in the travertine. Travertine floor tiles may be unfinished, honed, or highly polished depending on the stone. Travertine has a tendency to form holes as it ages. These need an epoxy or traverfil patch. Travertine floor maintenance includes: travertine cleaning, travertine leveling, travertine polishing, travertine sealing, and travertine hole patching

 

We, at The Floor Cleaning Experts, provide incredibly thorough and high quality Travertine Restoration in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.

St Petersburg Travertine Polishing & Sealing Before and After




Travertine polishing is one of my favorite jobs. The travertine floor sealer we use enhances the colors in the travertine while our travertine polishing process brings a bright even shine from the travertine floor.
This St Petersburg travertine polishing and sealing job was on the 8th floor of a condo overlooking the Gulf and the intercoastal waterway. The travertine floor was dull and dirty with muted colors.

We thoroughly cleaned the stone by scrubbing a detergent into the stone and then rinsing with a hot water extraction tool. Travertine cleaning gets the embedded soils out of the stone and grout and gets the travertine ready for polishing.
Our high speed travertine polishing process polishes the travertine to a bright even shine.

Travertine is very porous and need to be sealed with a good. We used Drytreat StainProof and Enhace plus to seal this travertine floor.

The Enhace Plus deepens the colors in the travertine floor while the Stainproof sealer permanently bonds to the molecular structure of the travertine. Drytreat Stainproof comes with a 15 year warranty when applied by a certified applicator like the Floor Cleaning Experts.

Outdoor Travertine Paver Sealing Testimonial

Outdoor Travertine Paver Sealing Testimonial

This outdoor travertine paver floor was sealed with Drytreat Stainproof and Enhance Plus. Sealing travertine pavers with Enhance Plus deepens the color of the travertine paver and takes away the slight chalky look unpolished outdoor pavers have. The Stainproof sealer bonds to the molecular structure of the travertine paver making the travertine paver permanently water resistant.

If you keep water from penetrating into the travertine paver you prevent efflorescence, mold/mildew growth, staining from spills, etc. Sealing travertine pavers with Drytreat Stainproof also makes the stone resist the penetration and adhesion of oils. Everything is kept at the surface of the stone where it is easy to wash off.

Floor Cleaning Experts is a Drytreat Certified Applicator and provides a 15 year warranty on the Drytreat Stainproof Sealer.
