TRAVETINE TILED FLOOR CLEANING, POLISHING AND SEALING IN KEARSLEY,BOLTON, MANCHESTER, BL4

Quality Tile Care • Jun 27, 2018

Travertine Stone Floor Cleaned, Polished and Sealed in Kearsley, Bolton, Manchester

This time we got an enquiry from Kearsley , Bolton, Manchester about cleaning and polishing these Travertine Stone Tiles. Travertineis a fantastic flooring choice, it looks absolutely fantastic with it's different colours and natural stone patterns. Although all this beauty comes with a price, as travertine is acid sensitive stone and to keep it looking good you need to seal and polish it regularly, that's where we can help our customers.
When doing the free in survey we discovered there was thick coat of wax product on the travertine tiles and customer also told us they had applied a coat of wax on these stone tiles after every three months for ten years in a row. This was the moment we realised we have a hard job in our hands with this travertine floor.

Travertine Floor Polishing

Travertine Tile Floor Cleaning and Polishing

For Burnishing (cleaning and polishing) we still used our diamond burnishing pads system but we had to go down to 200 grit to cut through the layers of old wax on these travertine tiles.
We started off on these travertine tiles with 200 grit, with some water as a lubricant. The first 200 grit removes the old sealer/wax off the stone floor and removes any scraches or acid stains( Etch Marks) in Travertine.

Travertine Tiles Cleaning and Polishing

When whole floor was burnished with the first pad, then all the soiled water got removed with wet vacuum. Next, we moved on to the normal system of 400 grit - 3000 grit pads. We started with 400 grit which is less coarse than the 200 grit, but rough enough still to break down layers of ingrained dirt. This got followed up with the application of a medium 800 grit and fine 1500 grit pads, which started to smooth down the rough areas of the surface to prepare the floor for a final polish with an even finer burnishing pad later on.
After the last pad, floor got rinsed once more, then all holes and cracks got filled in with flexible stone filler and then the floor was left to dry till the next day.

Travertine Floor Honing and Sealing

Travertine Tiled Floor Sealing

When we returned on the next day to finish off the Travertine stone tiled floor restoration , a damp tester got used to make sure there was no damp left in tiles. This Travertine floor had to be completely dry in order to seal.

When it was completely sure all travertine tiles were dry we used the Very Fine 3000 grit burnishing pad – the last of the four – without any lubricant to finally achieve a high quality polished finish. Final polish was followed up by sealing the stone floor with 2 coats of high quality solvent based impregnating sealer. Sealer had to dwell in for about 15 - 20 minutes and then all the residue got wiped off with soft cotton cloths.

Travertine Tiles Polishing

I think it's safe to say these travertine tiles look brilliant after all the work!
Customer was very happy with the work as the Travertine Tiles were back to best after ten years. They also took our personalised maintenance plan to keep the floor looking good.
