Considerations for Using Travertine – Classic

While Travertine Classic offers exceptional beauty and durability, there are key considerations to ensure it performs to its best potential.

• Sealing: Travertine is a porous stone, so it’s essential to apply a protective sealant to prevent staining and ensure longevity, especially in high-traffic outdoor areas.
• Maintenance: Though low-maintenance, Travertine requires periodic cleaning to preserve its natural beauty. Regular upkeep ensures the stone remains intact and vibrant over time.
• Installation: Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Ensure the substrate is level and stable to prevent shifting or cracking, especially in areas subject to heavy use.
• Climate: While Travertine Classic is weather-resistant, extremely harsh climates with extreme temperature fluctuations may require additional care. Consult a professional to ensure suitability for your specific environment.
• Colour Variation: Travertine naturally features variations in colour and texture, which adds to its charm but may not be uniform. This unique feature should be considered when planning your design.
• Weight: Travertine is a heavy stone, so ensure that your structure can support its weight during installation, particularly for large projects such as feature walls.
• Edge Treatment: For certain applications, the edges of Travertine Classic may require additional finishing, such as mitring or bullnosing, to ensure a polished look and enhanced durability.
• Cost: While Travertine Classic offers excellent value, it’s important to consider the overall cost of purchasing and installing the stone, including any necessary sealing, maintenance, and professional labour.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure your Travertine Classic maintains its beauty and durability for years to come, following a few simple care and maintenance steps is essential.

• Sealing: Apply a high-quality sealant to protect against staining, moisture, and environmental damage. Re-seal every 1-2 years for ongoing protection.
• Cleaning: Use a mild, pH-balanced cleaner to avoid damaging the stone. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
• Regular Sweeping: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris, preventing wear and tear on the surface.
• Deep Cleaning: Periodically perform a deep cleaning to remove built-up grime and maintain the stone’s beauty.
• Stain Removal: For stains, use a stone-safe poultice to lift marks without harming the surface.
• Inspection: Regularly check for cracks or chips, particularly in harsh weather conditions. These can be easily repaired by a professional.
• Maintenance: Proper care will ensure Travertine Classic retains its natural elegance and durability over time.
