What Is Travertine and Why It Needs Professional Care

Travertine, a type of limestone, is known for its distinctive, natural texture and earth-toned colors, which add a rustic yet sophisticated touch to any interior or exterior space. However, due to its porosity, travertine can be prone to staining and damage over time. Our expertise ensures your travertine’s elegance and durability are maintained for years to come.

Travertine and Other Similar Stones

Our expertise extends beyond travertine. As a porous limestone, travertine shares many characteristics and restoration needs with other natural stones. If you’re looking to maintain or repair other stone surfaces, we also specialize in:

  • Limestone: Travertine is a form of limestone, so our in-depth knowledge of this material is directly applicable to all limestone surfaces.  
  • Marble: Like travertine, marble is a beautiful, porous stone that benefits from professional polishing and sealing to prevent etching and maintain its shine. 
  • Granite and Quartz: While harder and less porous, granite and engineered quartz still require expert polishing and repair to address chips, cracks, and dullness.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Travertine Restoration

We use a high-quality, color-matched epoxy filler to repair cracks and chips in your travertine. Our technicians carefully blend the filler to match your stone’s natural texture, ensuring a seamless and durable repair that restores the tile’s integrity.
Can you make my dull travertine shine again?
Yes, our professional polishing services can bring back the natural luster of your travertine. We use specialized equipment and techniques to smooth the surface and restore its glossy finish, making it look vibrant and new again.
How often should I have my travertine sealed?
For most residential and commercial applications, we recommend resealing your travertine every 1 to 2 years. High-traffic areas or outdoor installations may benefit from more frequent sealing to maintain maximum protection against stains and weathering.
What’s the difference between travertine and limestone?
Travertine is a specific type of limestone that forms in mineral springs. The main difference is its characteristic porous structure, which gives it a distinct texture and makes it more susceptible to etching and staining if not properly sealed. Our expertise covers both stone types.
