Travertine

 

Great for Vanities, fireplace surrounds, tub surrounds, backsplash and flooring.

Travertine is a type of limestone. It is known for its many holes that are formed from sulfur bubbles eating away at the stone as it is formed. The holes can be filled with synthetic resins and cements or left in its

natural state. Travertine can be polished or left in its natural matte finish and is

often used for flooring, fireplace surrounds, table tops and bathroom applications.

 

Cleaning of countertop

For every day cleaning use mild dish soap, warm water and a soft cloth. There

are also many spray cleaners available for natural stone use.
 

Sealing of countertops

All Travertine countertops will be sealed before installation. 3 Guys Granite Inc.

is an accredited applicator for STAIN-PROOF Original ™ sealer. STAIN-PROOF

Original ™ is an impregnating, invisible and breathable sealer that protects

exposed natural stone, tiles, pavers, concrete and grout from damage caused by

water, salts and oil-based stains. Treated indoor and outdoor surfaces become

easier to clean, maintain, and keep looking good for longer. STAIN-PROOF

Original ™ provides lasting protection for natural stone.

If you think that your stone will need to be re-sealed, simply put a few drops of

water on your countertop and wait for 15-20 minutes. If you can see that the

water has been absorbed into the top it’s time to re-seal. The sealer that we use is estimated to be affective for approximately 15 years.
