Travertine Polishing:

Do you have polished travertine? Whatever your need is Orlando Travertine Restoration has the training and experience to polish your travertine. Using finer abrasives, or compounds we achieve a very clean, highly reflective, shiny finish. The shine intensity can range from a honed (more of a matte finish) to a ”custom medium shine” to a very mirror like “high gloss finish.“ The amount of fill (see fill effect photo below), open pores, blade marks will affect the shine uniformity especially when going with shinier finishes. Travertine looks its best when finished to a high gloss.

The center tile has quite a bit of fill in the Travertine. Filler is usually epoxy or grout inserted in large pits/pores and will not reflect the light the same way the stone will. The shinier the finish on the stone, the more contrast the fill will create. The dark band is a shadow from the windowpane.You can see the sky mirrored in the stone.

Here are some of the various terminologies these companies use to confuse people:

We are often asked, “Why do they do crystallization?” The answer: It’s cheap and quick.
