A note on the material
A form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, travertine carries characteristic surface pits and directional grain. These voids can be filled or left natural; either way, the stone responds beautifully to honing and requires a sealer that protects its calcite structure from etching.
Characteristics
- Natural surface voids

ViewTravertine cleaning FAQs
Can the pits in travertine be filled?
Yes — surface voids can be filled for a smooth finish or left natural for character. We advise on the best option for your travertine and the look you want.
Is travertine sensitive to acids?
Yes. Travertine is calcareous and etches on contact with acids, so we use pH-neutral cleaning and a sealer suited to calcite-based stone to protect it.
