Travertine Floor Restored

Travertine floor lost its sheen

This travertine floor in La Jolla, CA had lost its sheen from dirt and foot traffic, and the grout lines were clearly dirty as well. The owners called us in to resolve these problems and restore the natural beauty of the stone.

Our Solution

First, we re-honed the floors to remove surface damage, bringing the soft sheen back the owners originally wanted. Then, we deep-cleaned the grout lines and resealed the floor with a solvent-based impregnating sealer to inhibit future staining.

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.
