INSTALLATION/MAINTENANCE
Suitability:
Well suited for use as bathroom or internal floor and wall tiles along with pool pavers and pool coping.
Sealing:
Travertine can be sealed with an invisible penetrating sealer to assist in the ongoing clean up of the stone.
An invisible penetrating sealer can be applied prior to grouting which will facilitate easy clean up after application of the grout.
Cleaning:
Do not use Hydrochloric acid for clean up as this can cause pitting in the surface of the stone.
Maintenance:
Just sweep when needed. Travertine responds well to high pressure cleaning. A solution of mild detergent and water, can be applied prior to pressure cleaning.

I was initially hesitant about purchasing ivory travertine from Stone & Slate Discounts due to the interstate factor?I’m located quite a distance away in Sydney. However, I must express my utmost satisfaction with the entire process. The shipping was not only efficient but also surprisingly hassle-free. The team’s clear communication and organised approach made me feel at ease throughout the transaction. The quality of the ivory travertine exceeded my expectations, making it evident that the distance didn’t compromise the product or service quality.
