Travertine Floor Job overview (Transcript)
Hey, good morning. This is Bob and Ryan with Polished Concrete Little Rock. We're here this morning reviewing a recent travertine floor restoration job we did. I want to ask Ryan to start out, what are some things that you're hearing from customers, some complaints or problems they're having with their travertine floors that we can take care of?
The number one problem that we hear from customers with travertine floors is the fact that it's such a porous stone that stains really easy when it's not sealed and maintained on a regular basis. Being a porous stone, it's a lot like Swiss cheese when it comes from the factory. They come in and they fill these tiles or the big slabs, which you can see as these lighter dots here. This is important as the fill reduces the porosity of the stone and help keep out debris and dirt as well as chemicals from cleaners that can get down into the stone and destroy it over time. |

Those fills will pop with normal wear, and then throughout the life of the tile every year, those need to be filled back in and sealed. But another thing you have is the scratching and scuffing from foot traffic and heavy traffic. If it's not sealed every year or maintained, you’re going to get dirt and debris in these pores, it's going to get dark. And if you wait too long, it'll go too far to where we cannot restore it.
Okay, great. And that's also creates problems from foot traffic with having an even shine them too. Can you tell us a little bit about the different finish options that customers have when it comes to their natural stone? For example, does every floor have to be a high gloss shine or are there other options with polished concrete Little Rock?
That's correct. Back on this one here, this is factory honed. Um, some people like their floor shiny. Some people I prefer honed. This recent job we just finished is about 5,000 square foot, which you can find in a previous video that we did. It was a uniform hone, finished like this, that went 20 years without any maintenance. They had sealed it, cleaned it or anything until, I mean. They probably did some mild cleaning, like from a home cleaning company, but not professional. So, they had just spot staining everywhere. These little pieces were popping out and the customer wanted a high shine instead of a flat honed finish like this is, they felt that it looked dirty being honed.

When you think of shiny, shiny means clean. So, they wanted their whole house polished to a high shine. Others like the lower cleaning required when dealing with a honed surface. Our customers can get their floor to look the way that fits their lifestyle!
