Testimonials

In my new house, I had a variety of freshly laid tiles, including stone tiles for the pathways, marble tiles in the bathrooms, and porcelain tiles in the kitchen. Wanting to ensure their long-term protection, I decided to have them sealed but wasn't sure if it was possible to seal all types of tiles. Upon my dad's recommendation, I reached out to Tile and Grout Pro. He had faced a similar situation and was highly satisfied with the job they had done. Given that my tiles were brand new and of considerable value, I had concerns. However, the Tile and Grout Pro team displayed exceptional patience and took the time to explain the sealing process for different tile types, the specific sealers they would use, their durability, and provided valuable advice on tile maintenance. I made several calls to Tile and Grout Pro to confirm details, inquire about pricing, and ensure the job could be scheduled on a weekend. The team was incredibly patient and helpful throughout. Once I had gathered all the information I needed, I was ready to proceed. Surprisingly, the work carried out by Tile and Grout Pro took less time than the duration I spent researching and gathering information. I apologize for any inconvenience caused and sincerely thank Tile and Grout Pro for their exceptional service.

I noticed that some of the tiles in my bathroom walls were loose and the grout was coming off. I am a very busy so kept on postponing calling someone to fix it. One day I got home and the loose tiles were lying broken on the floor. Can you imagine my frustration? I rang my brother in panic and he gave me Tile and Grout Pro' contact details. I rang them straight away. The guys told me I needed a tiler and professional regrouting work done so I thought it would take ages to fix my problem. However they organized the work very well. I had my tiles fixed on Friday night the same week and the entire bathroom regrouted on Saturday. Thank you some much for your quick help; it was such a relief.

After having our tiles for over 25 years, we were informed that they had a solvent sealer that most companies would not be able to remove. We contacted a few places to inquire, but had no luck finding a solution. It was then that a friend recommended Tile and Grout Pro. We reached out to their team, and they agreed to assess the situation the following day. After receiving a satisfactory quote, we decided to proceed with the job. Tile and Grout Pro successfully stripped and resealed our old tiles, and we are incredibly grateful for their assistance. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Tile and Grout Pro team for their expertise and exceptional service.

What is Travertine?

Travertine Tile Travertine flooring is a highly fashionable material that not only serves a functional purpose but also adds an aesthetically attractive, old-world character to any residential or commercial space. Travertine pavers, in particular, are a popular choice for swimming pool areas, offering unique variations in pattern and colour with no two tiles looking exactly alike. Travertine is often characterized by its fibrous or concentric appearance and is available in shades of white, tan, and cream.

Travertine Tile Tuscany Tumbled Sealed

Travertine is a natural stone that forms in mineral springs, usually found around hot springs, underground rivers, and limestone caves. It is distinct from other natural stones like limestone (a sedimentary rock) and marble (a metamorphic rock) due to its unique feature of holes within the stone, which are formed by gases escaping during the stone's formation. The resulting stone has a smooth and hard surface, but is also highly porous due to the presence of these holes.

Travertine is naturally beautiful by the time it is quarried, possessing a smooth and dense texture that displays a distinct creamy colour, evoking an old-world refinement.

Cleaning Travertine Tiles

Cleaning and maintenance methods for travertine depend on its finish and whether it's sealed or not. Generally, non-acidic cleaning products are recommended for travertine tiles, and professional cleaning every few years can help maintain their appearance and restore their fresh look after daily wear and tear.

Stripping Travertine Tiles

When your travertine tiles become dull and start staining easily, it's an indication that your previous sealer is wearing off and your tiles are at risk of permanent damage. Tile and Grout Pro can strip/remove all the old sealer from your travertine tiles, restoring their natural fresh look using our advanced cleaning machinery. We then seal your travertine tiles with one of our top-quality water-based sealers. Tile and Grout Pro is proud to be an accredited applicator of Deepshield™, a high-quality advanced deep-penetrating sealer based on nano-technology. With recent advancements in sealant technology, Deepshield™ offers unmatched protection and reliability for all natural surfaces. It provides long-term benefits and peace of mind. Whether you choose a Clear Impregnating Penetrating Sealer, a Colour Enhancing Penetrating Sealer that enriches the colour and texture of your stone, or a high-quality Topical Gloss/Satin/Matte Finish Sealer, Tile and Grout Pro ensures that your travertine tiles receive the best possible protection and care. We recommend having your travertine tiles professionally cleaned every few years to maintain their appearance and restore the fresh look.

Travertine tiles can be sealed, but the sealer may eventually wear off and require removal and re-application. This process, called stripping and sealing, should be done every 2-10 years depending on factors such as the type of sealer used, indoor or outdoor location, and amount of foot traffic.

Sealing Travertine Floors

deepshield Travertine

Two main sealing options exist for travertine tiles

  • Deep Penetrating Impregnating Sealer

    • This sealer can have either a transparent finish or a color enhancing finish.

  • Topical Sealer

    • This sealer can have a gloss, satin, or matte finish.

A deep-penetrating impregnating sealer protects granite and grout from water and oil-based stains through the use of nano-technology. The sealer chemically reacts with the surface pores to create a protective barrier that prevents the absorption of stains and makes cleaning and maintenance easier. The Deepshield® range of water-based impregnating sealers offer long-term benefits and can last for up to 10 years, while the advanced Deepshield Gold® based on fluoro-bond technology can last for up to 15 years. The transparent impregnating sealer will not change the appearance of the stone after it has been applied and cured. On the other hand, a color-enhancing impregnating sealer is specifically designed to enhance and bring out the natural beauty of stone surfaces.

At Tile and Grout Pro, our technicians are highly skilled in the application of all types of sealers, ensuring your limestone looks its absolute best. If necessary, we can apply a topical sealer to create a high gloss, satin sheen or matte finish on your surfaces. Topical sealer is particularly useful in situations where the old solvent-based sealer cannot be completely removed or when there is damage to be concealed. Typically, the life expectancy of topical sealers is around 3 years. Trust our team to provide top-quality sealing services for your limestone surfaces.

One way to determine the porosity of your natural travertine is to place a small droplet of water on its surface and observe how quickly it is absorbed. This will give you an idea of how easily the travertine can absorb water-based stains, both on the tile surface and in the grout.

Types of sealer's used on travertine tiles

Travertine TileSealing your granite tiles with either a water-based or solvent-based sealer is important to protect them from potential staining. However, water-based sealers are preferred as they are easier to apply and remove, have a faster drying time, and don't emit harmful fumes during the application and removal process. One of the top-rated options available is the Australian-made Deepshield® line of impregnating water-based sealers, which utilize the latest nano-technology advancements for maximum long-term stain resistance and durability.

Classic Travertine Pavers

Selecting the appropriate water-based sealer for your travertine tile is crucial, and this will depend on whether they are installed indoors or outdoors. Keep in mind that most sealers are not formulated for outdoor use and will not last long under those conditions. If your travertine is installed outside, it is imperative to use a water-based sealer specifically formulated for outdoor use on travertine.

Ivory Travertine Sample

There are two categories of impregnating clear sealers available for travertine: water-based and solvent-based. Historically, solvent-based sealers were more popular because they penetrated deeper into the travertine and grout, and had longer-lasting effects. However, with advancements in technology, water-based sealers have become the recommended option. These sealers last longer and pose fewer risks to health and property, making them the preferred choice.

Applying solvent-based sealers can be a challenging task, and errors in application can lead to significant issues, as they are not easy to remove. As an alternative, Tile and Grout Pro recommends using a durable water-based sealer from Australia's Deepshield™ line of products for your travertine tiles and grout. Although topical sealers (which create a glossy plastic coating on top of the travertine) are still used, these older-style sealers can trap moisture within the stone and create a slippery surface when wet. Moreover, in high-traffic areas, the entire surface may require stripping and re-sealing once a topical sealer begins to wear off.

It is crucial to make sure the tiles are thoroughly cleaned before being sealed to maintain their appearance and prevent any dirt, stains, or other contaminants from being trapped under the sealant.

deepshield moisture travertine

To ensure optimal protection against both water and oil-based stains, and to maintain the natural appearance and slip resistance of your travertine, it is advisable to seal it with a premium-quality, invisible, fully breathable impregnating sealer. This will also help to prevent the retention of harmful moisture within the stone.

Frequently Asked Questions


Travertine is a type of limestone that falls between marble and limestone in terms of its development over thousands of years. It is formed by the rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate in mineral springs, hot springs, underground rivers, and other water sources. Travertine typically displays a fibrous or concentric appearance and comes in various colors such as white, tan, and cream. It can be found in formations like stalactites, stalagmites, and other speleothems in limestone caves or at the mouths of hot springs. Travertine is commonly used as a construction material in Italy and other regions. It is important to note that travertine tiles are often porous and susceptible to staining due to the presence of escape gases during its formation. Therefore, professionally sealing porous travertine tiles is crucial, especially when they are exposed to domestic dirt or residue.

When your Travertine floors appear dull and lack their usual shine, despite thorough domestic cleaning, it is a clear sign that professional cleaning is required. The dull and matte appearance indicates the accumulation of dirt and grime that cannot be effectively removed through regular cleaning methods. Another indication is when the Travertine tiles start staining easily, which suggests that the previous sealer has worn off, leaving the surface vulnerable to staining. In such cases, immediate resealing becomes essential to prevent further damage from staining. By addressing these signs promptly and seeking professional cleaning and resealing, you can restore the beauty and protect the longevity of your Travertine floors.

When selecting cleaning products, Tile Cleaning exercises utmost care to exclude any ingredients that could pose health risks.

To maintain the fresh appearance of your Travertine tiles, it is advised to follow a regular cleaning routine. Tile Cleaning recommend cleaning the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. This will effectively remove any dirt or grime from the tiled surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain strong acids or alkalis, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, mild detergents and pH neutral substances are strongly recommended. For added protection against staining, the best advice is to seal your Travertine tiles using one of our highest quality sealers. Sealing is an excellent preventive measure that safeguards your Travertine tiles and helps maintain their pristine condition.

Tile Cleaning may be able to remove a stain from your Travertine floor if it is relatively new and hasn't deeply penetrated the stone. However, we cannot provide a guarantee of complete stain removal; our commitment is to clean the area to the best possible condition. The effectiveness of stain removal also depends on whether the Travertine tiles have been previously sealed or not. In some cases, stains may have penetrated the natural stone and settled beneath the surface, making them more challenging to clean. It is important to consider having us perform a comprehensive process of stripping, cleaning, and sealing your Travertine floor. This ensures that future stains are prevented from penetrating the surface and enhances the overall stain resistance of your Travertine floors.

For the cleaning of Travertine tiles, Tile Cleaning charges based on a per square meter rate for each individual room. The Tile Cleaners website provides a price list that you can review for more details. It is recommended to measure each room individually before our team arrives, as this ensures a fast and convenient billing process for everyone involved. By having the measurements ready, we can accurately calculate the costs and expedite the payment process.

To measure the size of a Travertine area, it is recommended to measure each room individually. The measurement is calculated by multiplying the width of the room by its length. For instance, if a room is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the total area would be calculated as 3 multiplied by 2, resulting in a total of 6 square meters. By measuring each room separately, you can accurately determine the total size of the Travertine area.

Tile Cleaning provides assistance with moving furniture during the floor sealing process. Their team of dedicated technicians is available to help with the relocation of furniture items that can be reasonably managed by one person, such as those with wheels or lightweight furniture like tables and chairs. However, it is important to keep in mind that while Tile Cleaning takes precautions to protect your belongings, they cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the furniture moving process. To ensure the safety of valuable or fragile items, it is recommended to either relocate them to a secure area or properly secure them before the technicians arrive. By taking these necessary precautions, you can help ensure the safety of your furniture and minimize the risk of potential damage while the floor sealing process is being carried out.

To prepare for the cleaning of your Travertine floors, it is necessary to remove all furniture and items from the floor. This ensures that the area is clear and ready for the cleaning process when our team arrives. By moving furniture and items off the floor, you enable our technicians to have unobstructed access and provide thorough cleaning to your Travertine floors.
