Travertine cleaning, sealing, honing & polishing

Clean, Seal and Hone Travertine to a satin finish

When we first arrive our technicians will walk all the areas and inspect the flooring as a whole, after that they will go over our expectations, how long the job should take to complete and answer any questions you may have.

Before the job starts our technicians will mask up all cabinets, appliances and non moved furniture to protect them from and splatter or damage. They will also tape off any non stone surface i.e wood flooring, carpet and tile.

Once we have everything prepped and ready we will start to clean the travertine tile, we will start by spraying down our alkaline solution, once the solution has dwelled we will scrub the entire surface with our 17 inch rotary scrubber to break up and deep clean the travertine tile and grout. After that we use our truck mounted system to power wash the travertine using our SX-15 which cleans at 1200 PSI and 250 degree water.

After the deep cleaning, we will start the honing process to achieve the satin finish. This is done by honing the travertine tile with a 800 grit epoxy diamond pad and then a 1500 grit diamond grit pad, the honing process will bring your travertine flooring to a beautiful satin finish.

After the polishing the technicians will waterproof the travertine using our special formulated solution, this solution is designed to tighten up the pores of the stone even more. After that we will apply our penetrating sealer, this solvent based sealer is designed to absorb into the travertine tile and grout to create a stain resistant surface.

Clean, Seal, Hone & Polish Travertine to a High-Shine

Upon arrival, our technicians will walk through the entire space and inspect the flooring as a whole. They will then outline our expectations for the job, estimated completion time, and answer any questions you may have.

Prior to beginning the job, our technicians will mask off all cabinets, appliances, and non-moving furniture to protect them from splatter or damage. They will also tape off any non-stone surface such as wood flooring, carpet, and tile.

We will start by spraying down our alkaline solution, then we will scrub the entire surface with our 17-inch rotary scrubber to break up and deep clean the travertine tile and grout. After that, our truck-mounted system is used to power wash the travertine using our SX-15, which cleans at 1200 PSI and 250-degree water.

After the cleaning, we will start to prep the travertine for the polishing process by honing the travertine tile in 3 different steps. The first honing step is our 800 grit epoxy diamond pad, after that we go up to our 1500 grit and then the final honing step is our 3000 grit pad.

After the honing process is complete, we will polish the travertine using a polishing powder. This powder will react with the calcium in the travertine, tightening the pores and increasing the density. This will create a deep, high shine.

After the polishing process is complete, our technicians will apply a waterproofing solution to the travertine. This solution will help tighten the pores of the stone even further. Then we apply our Nano based penetration sealer to help prevent staining to the travertine tile and grout

Clean, Seal, Repair Holes, Hone & Polish Travertine Tile

When we first arrive, our technicians will walk through the entire area and inspect the flooring as a whole. After that, they will discuss our expectations, how long the job should take, and answer any questions you may have.

Prior to beginning the job, our technicians will take precautions to protect your cabinets, appliances, and other furnishings from any splatter or damage. They will also tape off any non-stone surfaces, such as wood flooring, carpeting, and tile.

To begin cleaning the travertine tile, we will first spray an alkaline solution onto the surface. Once the solution has had time to dwell, we will use a 17-inch rotary scrubber to break up and deep clean the travertine tile and grout. After that, we use our truck-mounted system to power wash the travertine using our SX-15. This system cleans at 1200 PSI and 250-degree water, which is perfect for removing any built-up dirt or grime.

After the cleaning we will fill all appropriate holes with our epoxy resin fill, this fill takes 12 hours to dry before we can hone it smooth.

The next day, after the cleaning and epoxy fill we will start the honing process, this is a 3 step process using diamond resin discs. We start with our 400 grit disc to smooth everything out and make sure the epoxy fill is nice and flat. Our second step is our 800 grit disc, this step will get the travertine to a nice semi gloss finish. The third step will be our 1600 grit disc and this one will set the travertine flooring to a high shine.

After the honing process is complete, we will use a polishing powder to create a deep, high shine. This powder will react with the calcium in the travertine, tightening the pores and increasing the density.

After the polishing, our technicians will use a specialized solution to waterproof the travertine. This solution tightens up the pores of the stone, making it more resistant to staining and weathering. The last step is to apply our Nano penetration sealer to the travertine tile to help prevent staining and discoloration.
