Slip Resistance and Travertine Floors

Travertine is a natural stone that is formed from mineral deposits in hot springs and limestone caves. It is known for its unique, porous surface and its warm, earthy colors. Travertine is a popular choice for flooring, countertops, and other architectural features because of its durability and natural beauty.

However, like all natural stones, travertine is porous, which means that it is susceptible to staining and damage if it is not properly sealed. Sealing travertine helps to protect it from spills, stains, and other damage, and it also helps to preserve its natural color and beauty. It is important to note that different types of travertine may require different types of sealers. It is always best to consult with a professional to determine the best sealer for your specific type of travertine.

 Sealing is necessary on travertine, but a sealer can make it very slippery!

In addition to sealing, it is also important to make sure that travertine is slip-resistant. Travertine can be slippery when wet, which can be a safety hazard. It is important to consult with a professional from Walkway Management to determine the best method for making your travertine slip-resistant.

Overall, travertine is a beautiful and durable natural stone that can add elegance and warmth to any home or building. By properly sealing and making sure it is slip-resistant, you can ensure that your travertine will last for many years to come.
