What will happen over time? Travertine tiles, especially those used on floors, require an amount of regular maintenance over the years. The honeycomb structure of travertine means that there will undoubtedly be small pockets of air just underneath the surface of the tiles.
In time these pockets can be exposed with foot traffic and wear to the surface of the tiles. As a rule, the darker the travertine like Dark Walnut and Noce travertine the harder the tiles. Wear and tear tends to be more obvious in lighter colour tiles, like Ivory. In lower quality, less dense travertine, the pockets that are exposed with wear can be larger and form craters rather than just pin holes. Part of the maintenance required for travertine floor tiles is the refilling of these pockets and pin holes on an ongoing basis.
The requirement to do this is much less with good quality dense travertine that only has a small amount of filler visible on the surface to start with. This is a very straight forward process that anybody can do by following the instructions on the sealer can. In the end…..
