Travertine is a smooth and very strong material with a porous surface. These pores are formed by gases escaping as the material is formed. Travertine is created through a process known as rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate and in limestone caves it can form as stalactites or stalagmites. Travertine will often appear fibrous or concentric and can come in a white, tan or a cream like colour. At the time travertine is removed from the quarry it is a very attractive, smooth and a strong stone.

Travertine is a very porous stone and becomes easily etched by acids upon contact. Travertine will easily absorb liquids, and oils, leaving stains under the surface that can be very difficult to remove. Fruit juice, sauces, soft drink and acidic cleaning products coming into contact with travertine puts it in danger of permanent staining. The acidic nature of many substances around the home or business can instantly etch the surface leaving a very noticeable stain. It is important that travertine be professionally sealed against staining and etching with a deep penetrating and impregnating sealer, such as Deepshield™ Transparent Penetrating Sealer, which creates an invisible barrier that will protect your valuable surface for up to 15 years.
