Travertine Cleaning and Polishing

 What does the finished surface of Travertine in Scottsdale, AZ, AZ look like?

Travertine in Scottsdale, AZ, can have four major finishes, polished (shiny), honed (matte), brushed and tumbled (textured surfaces). The type of finish given to the Travertine will determine how shiny the surface will be. The Travertine and honed surfaces are flat and smooth, while the brushed and tumbled surfaces are flat and textured. The Travertine surface is the shiniest, while the tumbled surface reflects the least amount of light. The most common finish for Travertine is honed.

The POLISHING STAGE – This stage involves the diamonds once again. As well as refinishing your travertine, the diamonds also alter the surface of the tile. Depending of the pad/grit, a different level of shine can be achieved. By altering the travertine tiles surface in Scottsdale, AZ and making it smoother, the tiles become shinier.
