When you are having new floors installed, a great option is natural stone. The natural stone options are great for many reasons. They offer a beautiful and sophisticated look to any room as well as elegance. They are long lasting as well as they are taken care of and come in many different types. You can have granite tile floors, marble and travertine to name a few. Travertine is a commonly used type of stone floor and for great reasons. They are a nice hard floor and will hold up to indoor and even outdoor wear and tear. Travertine is a great option but it does require work to keep it looking its very best. The tile will come sealed and protected but over time the sealant can wear off and will need to be polished again. The floors can be polished and cleaned professionally in between your regular at home cleaning. Be sure to use an appropriate cleaning product so that you don’t cause damage to your floors.
Silver State Floor Restoration Lists Why Travertine Floors Have Holes & What You Can Do To Protect Them
Why Do Travertine Floors Have Holes?: The travertine tiles that you can have installed in your home will come with several different finishes. One option is to have the tile filled which means that many of the natural holes are filled and the finished tile has a more even and consistent look with less divots. The other option comes when the holes are not filled. This option will have a more natural finish instead of the shine that some people choose. The look of a polished marble will be shinier than a polished travertine. The stone does not get that same super shine because of the way that the stone was made naturally in the earth. The holes are all part of the natural look you get when you choose a stone floor. You will get many color variations as well as texture rather than a cookie cutter man made tile.
How to Protect Your Travertine Stone Floors: When you have natural stone floors you should do all that you can to protect them. They are not a cheap option and as long as you care for them correctly you will have a long lasting tile. The best way to keep your floors looking good is to clean up spills as soon as possible. There are some spills that can damage your travertine floors especially ones that are acidic. You can also take care when moving large pieces of furniture across the floor so that you don’t leave scratch marks or gouges. The other thing that you can do for travertine floors or any other type of stone floor is to have them cleaned and polished by a professional. The professional will use safe cleaners as well as the right tools to get them cleaned and cleared of any dirt or debris that has built up.
