A: Yes. Travertine is porous, so sealing is recommended during and after installation to protect against stains and water infiltration, especially in high-traffic or wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Routine sealing keeps the surface looking like new and prevents etching from everyday spills. Our specialists can guide you to the right sealant and maintenance schedule so your tile stays beautiful for years.

A: Honed travertine has a smooth, matte surface, while tumbled travertine has a more weathered, textured finish. Both are suitable for floors and walls, but tumbled options are ideal for rustic aesthetics. Both finishes offer excellent durability, so you can choose based on the ambiance you want without worrying about performance. Need help selecting?

A: Use a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid acidic products like vinegar or lemon juice. Wipe spills promptly and regularly dust or mop to maintain surface appearance and prevent residue buildup. For deep refreshes, use a soft brush with the same neutral solution to gently lift stubborn residue without etching the stone. Our specialists can schedule routine maintenance visits that keep your floors showroom-ready while protecting your investment long term.
