About Travertine
Travertine is a natural type of limestone that is used both in and outdoors but it is a very popular choice for pool decks. Travertine is an ideal paver material because it repels water and is heat resistant and slip resistant. It is also recognized a green flooring option. There are many colors and sizes to choose from, and finishes include tumbled, honed, and polished. There are plenty of design options to choose from.
Clean Your Pavers
As stated earlier, travertine pavers are not difficult to maintain but sealed and filled pavers are easier to manage. For simple, ongoing maintenance, sweep and go over the floor with a damp mop. Be sure to quickly clean up stains to avoid the stain setting in. This is especially true for wine colored or acidic spills. You’ll find that areas with the most traffic will require more upkeep. This includes outside areas including patios and pool decks, and near trees since certain fruit from trees can easily stain your pavers. It’s also worth mentioning that hard water can stain travertine tiles in your bathrooms or kitchen.
