There is a Difference Between Polished, Honed, and Tumbled Travertine
It is important to understand that not all travertine surfaces are created equal. Honed travertine is known for its soft, satiny finish and has a natural matte look. This also means that any etch marks or scratches can more noticeable than they would on stones with a different finish. Honed travertine is the option most commonly chosen for flooring and showers.
Some types of travertine are too soft to be polished. For those, they can be given a smaller surface pore size than you would see with honed travertine – and this helps to increase resistance against staining and absorption too.
Tumbled travertine is more rustic than the other options. It is an option that has a dull finish and generally is not filled. As a result, it can be more challenging to keep clean and any divot or imperfection can trap dirt within.
You Can Determine How Often You Will Polish Your Travertine Surface
There is no hard and fast rule for how often you should get travertine polishing to restore a honed or polished finish on your stone. As soon as you are unsatisfied with the look of the stone, you should consult a professional stone care contractor like Fuller Marble Polishing for advice about polishing. Your travertine floors will hold their finish longer and better if you are careful to maintain them properly by keeping them clean and free of grit and by resealing them periodically.
