When we are providing estimates there seems to be hesitation on the homeowners as to what type of shine they want on their Travertine. Marble and Limestone floors. Stone Care of Arizona, the natural stone expert would like to share valuable information on Travertine, Marble, and Limestone polishing in Scottsdale, Cave Creek and Paradise Valley, Arizona.
We can all agree that Travertine, Marble and Limestone floors can have a life of their own. It doesn’t matter how you take care of your Travertine, Marble and, Limestone tiles and countertops will eventually need some type of professional cleaning, honing and polishing. Why? we, humans, are "inside creatures." We live! We sleep! We work! We entertain! We eat and are protected from the elements outside our homes. In 1628 Sir Edward Coke in the Institute of the Laws of England coined a commonly used adage, "for a man's/woman's house is their castle." (Slight modification). Travertine, Marble, and Limestone floors come in different qualities (premium cut, Commerical and select cut), colors, types, and finishes (Brushed, tumbled and chiseled edge finish). Stone Care of Arizona, the natural stone expert would like to share some valuable information on Travertine polishing and their finishes.
Consider the following facts about Travertine:
1. HONED TRAVERTINE (Flat appearance/No shine)
Many homeowners select and purchase honed Travertine delivered in a pallet. Typically the finish on honed Travertine tiles is marred with fill haze and stone debris and contamination. The Travertine tiles installed in homes throughout Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Paradise Valley, and Fountain Hills, Arizona will need a full restoration to create a shine. Honed Travertine will need to be filled with cementitious grout material. When polishing honed Travertine it will display the dead spots on areas that will not shine due to the cementitious material used in filling the holes and troughs caused by acid spring water. The image below shows an example of "dead spots" that will not allow light reflection when honed Travertine has been polished.
2. TEXTURED TRAVERTINE (brushed, Tumbled (video link)
and Chiseled edge (video Link))
Please view the video links above to educate yourself about Travertine finishes. Since, Travertine tiles come with different finishes. (Brushed, tumbled and chiseled edge finishes) created during the manufacturing process. These rustic appearances are designed to provide an extraordinary appearance. When brushed, tumbled and chiseled edge Travertine is polished it can also exhibit dead spots that are similar to honed Travertine. All Travertine finishes installed in homes will be impacted by acid-based substances and surface abrasion. Stone Care of Arizona, the natural stone expert can professionally clean and polish your Travertine floors.
3. POLISHED TRAVERTINE (Satin, Medium to High Polished Shine)
Polished Travertine is a premium cut tile and considered the most expensive tile a homeowner can purchase. Polished Travertine is not delivered in a pallet, but is packed in a box. Polished Travertine comes in various finishes, ranges Low, Medium and high polishes. The finer point to remember here is that Polished Travertine has less than 10% voids and will be filled with epoxy to help to ensure there are very few if any dead spots that are visible. The picture above is an example of a Polished Travertine.

- We honed the Travertine floor to remove the abraded surface damage.
- We mechanically polished the Travertine to match the existing shine.
