Travertine Polishing

Travertine

Travertine is a distinctive form of limestone, loved for its earthy tones and natural textures. Whether honed for a soft, matte finish or polished to a smooth shine, it brings a sense of warmth and elegance to both indoor and outdoor spaces. But travertine’s porous surface and natural pits require special care to keep it looking its best.

Natural beauty with unique maintenance needs

Travertine forms in mineral hot springs, resulting in a porous structure full of small holes and crevices. These pits can collect dirt, grime, and moisture if not properly maintained. The stone is softer than granite but more forgiving than marble, and its appearance can be tailored to your style with either a glossy or matte finish.

Travertine requires a delicate balance of experience, tools, and patience. We never cut corners or use waxes that trap dirt and reduce your stone’s breathability. Our team is trained to work with travertine’s natural variation—enhancing its color, texture, and longevity with every service.

Our Travertine Polishing Process

At Mr. Peabody’s Stone Care, we use specialized equipment and techniques to carefully polish your travertine without damaging its natural character. Our process goes beyond basic cleaning, working deep into the stone to remove imperfections and restore a rich, consistent finish.

• Assessment & Prep – We inspect your stone’s condition and prep the area for restoration.

• Deep Cleaning – Using safe, stone-specific cleaners, we remove built-up dirt and residue.

• Honing & Polishing – Diamond abrasives smooth the surface and enhance your desired finish, whether matte, satin, or glossy.

• Grout & Pit Refinement – We can fill exposed pits or damaged grout lines for a cleaner, more uniform surface.

• Optional Sealing– We recommend sealing your travertine to guard against future staining and wear.
