THE PROBLEM
The travertine floor in this La Jolla rental was neglected and had taken a beating from tenants, prompting the homeowner to call Set-in-Stone to bring the classic flooring back to life.
THE SOLUTION
To return the shine and beauty of this travertine, we first honed it to remove scratches and other various marks left behind. Once we were were satisfied with the condition of the travertine, a light polish was added to bring out its color and showcase the stone’s beauty. Even with just a light polish, look how bright the overhead lights shine off the travertine in the AFTER image, compared to the dull reflection in the BEFORE image.
