Travertine

Natural stone is a product of nature. No two tiles are exactly alike. Emser Tile recommends that a customer not purchase a tile based on the photo on this website. A customer should request a sample of the tile from their sales representative prior to making a final decision. Furthermore, Emser Tile requires that a customer inspects the purchased material prior to installation to check color, veining, thickness, sizing, and finish. Please ask for information on pre-sealing, sealing, and ongoing maintenance.

Types
• Unfilled: Travertine with naturally occurring holes.
• Filled: Travertine with its naturally occurring holes filled with a mixture of a hardener and dust obtained from the cutting and honing process.
• Polished: During production, a facet is put on each crystal at a microscopic level – much as a jeweler would facet a diamond. The resultant smooth surface allows light to refract in and out of the stone in a parallel way. This enhances the visible sheen and gives the appearance of depth.
• Honed: A smooth, non-reflective finish achieved by grinding the surface.
• Saw Cut: The untreated surface of a stone when it is first cut. The surface is slightly rough
• Tumbled (ancient stones): An antique look achieved by rounded corners and edges.

Special Considerations
• Color variations are common and enhance the natural beauty of travertine. Be sure to inspect multiple samples of the stone before selection to ensure satisfaction with colors and patterns.

Maintenance
• Do clean with a dust mop and neutral cleaner to remove most dirt.
• Do use a penetrating sealer to prevent staining. Because many stones are porous to some degree, excessive water may cause reactions such as oxidation (rust), spalling, deterioration of dry veins, etc. “Special Impregnating” sealers are recommended to avoid these problems. Emser representatives can recommend appropriate sealers.
• Do clean natural stones with “special stone cleaners”, “pH balanced cleaners” or “neutral base cleaners.”
• Do not clean any natural stone with acidic cleaners, including (but not limited to) vinegar or cleaners with “lemon” or “lime” on the label. These products will abrade the polish from the stone. Sealers DO NOT protect polished surfaces from these types of cleaners.
