Travertine: From Rock to Modern Day
Travertine is formed over centuries from the gradual accumulation of calcium from seashells and snails in natural spring beds. The water flow from the springs gives the stone its characteristics and holes. Travertine has character marked by distinct patterns and a warm, earthy palette.
As we journey through time, we find the ancient civilizations that first recognized travertine's unparalleled beauty and versatility. From the Colosseum in Rome to the grand structures of ancient Persia, travertine has been a cherished building material, standing as a testament to its enduring appeal.
Even though it is considered to be a soft stone, it can be honed and polished. Cracks and holes can be repaired by using custom-matching epoxy to match the veins and counters.
Its rich history and unique attributes have positioned it as the high-end choice for tiles in modern homes. Over time travertine needs to be polished and restored. Please give us a call at (386) 682-2236 for a free in-home estimate and evaluation.
Our Travertine Floor Polishing Process:
At Diamond Floor Cleaning, we provide Central Florida with a comprehensive, affordable travertine polishing process, starting at just $1.75 per square foot. Our approach is thorough and transparent, designed to bring out the natural beauty of your travertine without shortcuts.
Step 1: Steam Cleaning with a Neutral pH Solution
We begin by steam cleaning the travertine using a neutral pH solution. This step removes dirt and buildup while protecting the stone’s natural integrity, setting the foundation for a beautiful polish.
Step 2: Drying and Preparation
Once cleaned, we allow the floors to dry for a full day. This ensures they’re ready for optimal polishing, giving you the best possible results.
Step 3: Crystallization for a Lasting Shine and Seal
The final step in our process is crystallization—a specialized technique that both shines and seals your travertine. Using high-quality tools and products, we create a long-lasting, glossy finish that enhances the stone’s natural color and durability.
We offer flexible service by moving furniture as needed or working around it to accommodate your space. After we finish, the floors can be walked on immediately, with no waiting required. We recommend an annual refresh for optimal shine and protection to keep your floors looking their best.
With Diamond Floor Cleaning, you receive a top-quality travertine polishing experience without hidden fees or upsells—just professional results from a trusted Central Florida service.

Travertine Hole and Crack Repair
Travertine, with its unique formation in mineral springs, often boasts distinctive features such as natural holes—a testament to its natural beauty. Travertine tile is bought in two variations: filled and unfilled. Some travertine is pre-filled at the factory with epoxy, while others are left unfilled, embracing the organic aesthetic of the material.
Over time, it's not uncommon for these natural holes to undergo a natural process where some may loosen or fall out. Don't worry it's part of the stone's journey. Our dedicated team specializes in Travertine Holes and Cracks.
Our repair process involves using a custom epoxy matched to your travertine's unique hues and patterns.
Whether your stone features filled or unfilled holes, our expert repair ensures a seamless restoration, preserving the character of your travertine while eliminating any imperfections. Trust us to breathe new life into your travertine.
How To Tell If Your Travertine Floor Needs Polishing
Travertine floors, while durable, may show signs over time that indicate the need for professional polishing. Polishing must be done every 1 to 5 years, depending on the depth of the honing and the traffic.
Here's a quick guide to help you identify when it's time to polish your travertine:
Dull Appearance: If your travertine floors have lost their natural shine and appear dull. This often occurs due to regular foot traffic and wear.
Scratches and Scuffs: Visible scratches and scuffs can mar the surface of your travertine.
Stains and Discoloration: Stains and discoloration can occur over time, especially in high-traffic areas or places prone to spills.
Uneven Finish: If your travertine floor has a rough or inconsistent finish, it might be time for a professional polish. This can occur due to natural wear, improper cleaning methods, or harsh cleaning agents.
Loss of Luster: Travertine is known for its natural luster. If your floors have lost their inherent glow and appear flat, polishing can bring back that shine you remember.
Difficulty in Cleaning: If cleaning your travertine floors becomes increasingly challenging, with stubborn dirt or grime in crevices, it's a sign that the surface may benefit from a thorough polishing to make future cleaning more manageable.
If you observe one or more of these signs, it's advisable to consult with professionals experienced in travertine floor polishing. They can assess the condition of your floors and recommend the appropriate level of polishing to restore their beauty and shine.
