Travertine is just one of the many beautiful natural stones used in flooring, each offering its own unique appearance and maintenance needs. Some of the most common stones include marble, granite, limestone, slate, flagstone, and Saltillo tile. Each of these materials varies in durability, porosity, and polishing potential, making professional care essential for keeping them in their best condition.

Travertine is a porous, soft stone known for its warm, earthy tones and naturally pitted surface. It requires regular sealing and polishing to prevent moisture absorption and stains. Granite, on the other hand, is one of the most durable and stain-resistant stones, often used in high-traffic areas due to its density and scratch resistance. Marble offers a luxurious, polished look but is highly susceptible to etching from acidic spills, requiring careful maintenance. Limestone and flagstone bring a more natural, rustic aesthetic but need regular sealing to avoid water damage. Saltillo tile, a handcrafted Mexican clay tile, is another popular choice, loved for its unique color variations but requiring extra sealing to prevent moisture absorption.

When properly cleaned, honed, and polished, each of these natural stones can maintain its beauty and durability for years. At Martin’s All Floor Services, we provide expert care for all stone types, helping to restore and protect your floors for a long-lasting, pristine appearance.
