Natural Travertine with Embedded Dirt

Embedded Debris in Natural Travertine

Homeowners in Poway desperately needed to have their floors refinished. They liked the rustic, natural look of their travertine floors, but despite all their cleaning efforts they could not remove all the unsightly dirt and debris that had accumulated in the porous grout and naturally occurring pits in the floor.

Our Solution

Our travertine experts at Set in Stone Restoration thoroughly cleaned the travertine and grout, then honed the surface to a low sheen finish. Then we sealed the floor with an impregnating sealer to help inhibit dirt and debris from settling into the travertine and grout, making it easier to clean and maintain its beautiful appearance.

Travertine is a versatile stone that can add elegance to any home or office. For more information about travertine restoration, such as etch removal, lippage removal (leveling uneven tiles), crack and chip repair, stain removal, sealing, filling naturally-occurring travertine holes, as well as honed, slightly polished, or high-gloss polished finish, watch one or more of these short videos: Floating TravertineTravertine Strip, Hone, and Repolish, and Travertine Repair, Restoration, and Polishing or visit our Travertine Services page.
