Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which process can I expect when you arrive to reseal my travertine floors? - Stripping and Sealing | Stripping and Sealing Travertine Floors

• A: Our professional team will go through the job processes with you step by step so you know exactly what you're getting. The process includes stripping any previous sealer if it was applied, the travertine is then thoroughly cleaned and neutralised so that it is free of dust, residue and anything else that can affect the new sealer. A new sealer is applied to the dry travertine floor and allowed to set. The newly sealed travertine floor will not only look new again, it will be protected and result in your travertine becoming easier to maintain.

Other FAQs :

• Q: Efflorescence has built up on my travertine tiles. Can you remove it?
• A: Yes we can. Efflorescence is a build up of salts and can be removed with efflorescence removers and other specialised cleaning techniques. Efflorescence is typically caused by a leakage behind the travertine tiles or through damaged grout lines. The efflorescence can be removed but it is important the cause of the efflorescence is resoled.
• Q: What is floor stripping?
• A: The process of stripping a floor is to ensure that all necessary old and worn sealer is removed; once removed your travertine tiles can be resealed.
• Q: How often should I seal my travertine floors?
• A: It depends on the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the travertine tiles are being exposed to. Australia's Deepshield® range of deep impregnating water based sealer's, offer long term benefits with Deepshield Gold® lasting up to 15 years. Topical sealer's have a life expectancy of around 3 years. If you have a high amount of foot traffic or perhaps severe weather conditions(for outdoor tiles), you may experience a shorter lifetime. Sealing your travertine tiles can also depend on the tiles condition. Once they start showing patchy areas and are staining easily then you should have them resealed. Give us a call and we can assist you with all your enquiries.
• Q: What steps can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my Travertine tiles?
• A: To maintain the fresh appearance of your Travertine tiles, it is advised to follow a regular cleaning routine. Tile Cleaning recommend cleaning the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. This will effectively remove any dirt or grime from the tiled surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain strong acids or alkalis, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, mild detergents and pH neutral substances are strongly recommended. For added protection against staining, the best advice is to seal your Travertine tiles using one of our highest quality sealers. Sealing is an excellent preventive measure that safeguards your Travertine tiles and helps maintain their pristine condition.
• Q: What happens if I don not seal my travertine floors?
• A: Travertine floors can damage easily, any oily or harsh spills can damage the travertine tiles and penetrate the pores leaving a permanent stain, unreachable by domestic cleaning methods. We strongly recommend sealing you travertine tiles to keep their natural look and feel, to protect them against permanent staining and to prevent any future accidental damage. They will look their very best for longer and will be easier and more convenient to maintain.
