Travertine Grinding Perth

Travertine grinding is important for fixing a number of issues that occur due to wear and tear. These negative effects on the stone include dulling its appearance, creating uneven tiles, and increasing the difficulty of cleaning or maintenance. By grinding your travertine floor, you can enhance its visual appeal, create a uniform texture, and make both cleaning and maintenance a breeze.

Increase aesthetic appeal

Grinding travertine helps to bring back its sleek and shiny appearance. The grinding process smoothens both superficial damage and deep scratches or stains.

Leave the surface smooth

During the process of grinding travertine, uneven areas of the stone are eliminated. This leaves you with smooth, uniform travertine tiles to enjoy.

Make cleaning and maintenance easier

When you grind travertine surfaces, you make them smoother and eliminate crevices for dirt to get stuck into. So grinding your travertine floor actually makes it easier to clean and maintain. It also extends the lifespan of the stone and keeps its value high.

The process of grinding a travertine floor involves a few key steps. These are examining the floor, dealing with the superficial scratches, and then potentially honing the travertine.

Inspection

The first part of the travertine grinding process involves examining the state of the flooring. By assessing the state of the damage, you can plan out how you will apply the relevant techniques. High foot traffic areas will generally require the most attention, as this is where travertine tiles will experience the most wear.

Fixing scratches

For dealing with scratches and stains on the outer layer of the travertine, specialised diamond pads are employed. This diamond grinding process gets rid of these unsightly blemishes while preserving the natural beauty of the stone.

Honing

If you wish to take it a step further, you can hone the surface of the travertine. This serves to make the surface smoother and eliminate finer abrasions. By the end of the honing process, the floor is flattened to the level of the grout lines.
