Protecting your Natural Stone Flooring with Arizona Stone Care

What is Travertine?

Travertine is a natural stone, such as marble or granite formed in hot springs and limestone caves. Due to their development in these environments, there is some carbon dioxide evasion, which causes small holes in the surface of the stone. There are a number of different types and colors of travertine, but most are along the neutral shades, such as creams and browns.

The development of the stone in this way makes it much more durable, hard wearing, and perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.

Why is it so hard to maintain?

Travertine is a beautiful addition to any room of the house, but it is difficult to maintain for a number of reasons.
For starters, it is very easily scratched and this can affect the look of the tile and be difficult to fix by yourself. As well as this, the porous nature of the tile makes it very difficult to clean the tile properly, and although there are products that can help make the job easier, it is difficult to get the job done properly without the help of Arizona Stone Care.

If your tiles are going to be subjected to regular splashes and running water, then sealing them is an absolute must, and this should be done by a professional company who know what type of tile they are working with, and which sealant will provide you with the longest and most effective seal.
