Travertine Polishing
PHOENIX'S #1 TRAVERTINE POLISHING SERVICE
Natural Stone and Travertine Polishing.
Polishing is the process of altering the shine of your travertine or natural stone. We are able to bring your travertine or other natural stone (marble, limestone, etc.) from dull to your desired level of shine with the use of diamond polishing pads and polishing machines. We do not perform chemical polishing as it can be harmful to your stone, it does not last nearly as long and it does not have the same level of shine or vibrance that true polishing offers.
We Offer 3 Levels of Shine
Matte Finish | Satin Finish | Mirror Finish
Pro's of having your travertine polished.
- Travertine Will Look Like New Again
- All Scratches and Blemishes Will Be Removed
- Your Stone Will Be Much More Vibrant in Color
- All Areas Will Have The Same Amount of Shine
Honing VS Polishing?
Honing and polishing travertine is performed similarly with two slightly different outcomes. Honing is the process of removing material with the goal of evening out the surface so there aren’t any scratches left or differences in shine. After honing the travertine is left with a matte finish that has become very desirable!
Polishing is performed with a diamond polishing pad instead of a honing pad. It is the process of increasing grit in order to make the stone shine to your desired level. Polishing is done only after honing is completed.
When Should You Polish Travertine?
Having your travertine polished is completely up to you. It is not a necessary maintenance service like tile and grout cleaning or grout sealing. If you desire for your travertine to be more shiny or vibrant in color then polishing is right for you!
Another reason to have your travertine polished would be to remove deep scratches or etching blemishes from hard chemicals. The honing process will completely remove all scratches or blemishes and restore your travertine to look like new again!
FAQ
When polishing travertine, we use a true, diamond encrusted polishing pad that produces the most durable form of polish. Rather than doing a chemical polish that will only last 1-2 years, our polishings will last 5-10 years depending on routine maintenance and foot traffic.
This is completely preference. Whether you would want something matte finish or mirror finish we can deliver. If you are seeking longevity we generally recommend a medium finish because you still have the benefits of a shinier floor without it deteriorating as quickly as a high gloss finish. Mirror finishes look great but will immediately show any scratches or blemishes.
The time it takes to complete the process is completely dependent on the amount of square footage and what level of shine you’re looking to achieve. The shinier of a finish you desire, the more steps will be required in order to achieve that level.
Please call for a more accurate estimate, we would be happy to help!
Travertine Polishing Maintenance
Maintaining travertine polishing isn’t a complicated task. There are a couple of important measures to take to ensure your polished travertine lasts as long as possible.
DO:
- Use a neutral-pH cleaning solution
- Use room temperature or cold water to protect stone sealer
- Use non-abrasive mops or scrubbers (string mop is highly recommended)
- Clean no more than 1-2 times per month or only when necessary
DON’T:
- Use acidic or high-alkaline cleaning solutions
- Use warm water, hot water or steam
- Use abrasive or wired brushes
- Scrub aggressively or for a prolonged period.
If followed correctly, your polished travertine will easily last you its intended life span.

AZ Tile Grout is not responsible for cracked grout or missing grout due to improper installation. Cleaning with high pressure can remove grout, color sealers and damage some satin-finished natural stones in rare instances. We do our absolute best to prevent this from ever happening.
