On this occasion we got invited to Middleton
, Rochdale
to see what we could do with these Tumbled Travertine
Tiles.Tumbled finish gives tiles an antique look and also allows a non slippery surface on this popular stone tile. Travertineis one of the most popular tiles for interior designers.We can suggest it's the best stone tiles to fit to your bathroom
, kitchen, hall, living room, conservatory, garden or patio for modern building decorations or period building renovations.
When we arrived to see this floor and did a cleaning tester for our customer, we were booked in to do the work immediately.
When cleaning travertinestone tiles you have to make sure not to use anything acidic on the stone floor, as travertine
is acid sensitive and it will ruin the surface finish. On this occasion we used a multi-purpose high-alkaline cleaner, stripper and degreaser which is suitable for natural stone floors.
The cleaning product got left on floor for 5 - 10 minutes to dwell in and break down old sealer and ingrained dirt and then scrubbed with strong scrubbing pad fitted to rotary machine. This was followed up by cleaning grout lines with grout brush and then all soiled water got removed with wet vacuum. After removing soiled water, the floor got rinsed couple times with clean water to neutralise chemicals and get all dirt off the floor.
After cleaning with chemicals we also went over the floor with our diamond pad system to polish the floor up and leave a nice even finish to the travetine floor. Then tiles and grout got dried out with industrial dryers and then we started sealing.
When floor was dried, we quickly double checked it with our damp tester and luckily it was all properly dried.For sealing we used high quality colour enhancing impregnating sealer. Impregnating sealer is ideal for outside as it allows the surface to breathe, enhances stone tiles natural colours, is matte and won't make the kitchen floor slippery.
Sealer got applied with paint pad and then all excess that didn't absorb into stone got wiped off with soft cottong cloths. In total this floor took 3 fat coats of the sealer and our work was done.
Our client was over the moon with the result, as the floor transformation transformed the whole kitchen. Job well done for us!
