Travertine Honing

Travertine honing is the most common procedure performed on travertine installations as most travertine is fabricated to a honed finish. When your travertine has worn for a few years or more and has developed small holes and a generally dull or poor appearance you may be ready for travertine honing. We are able to machine hone your travertine with the use of diamond abrasives. This procedure will flatten the surface, remove scratches and surface abrasion and return the travertine to the original fabricated finish or in many case better. Of course you may elect a slightly higher hone or lower hone depending upon your taste and preference. Travertine Honing can also be performed with only the use of abrasive compound, known as honing compounds. Thes honing compounds will produce an acceptable finish, but will not correct more extreme wear and tear issues. Compounds are traditionally used for annual maintenance and every few years the diamond abrasion can keep you honed travertine looking new.
