Find answers to commonly asked customer questions about this countertop material
Q: What are travertine countertops made of?
A: Travertine countertops are made from a type of natural limestone formed in mineral spring deposits. They have a distinctive porous surface with natural holes and pits, often filled and polished for countertop use.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Do travertine countertops require sealing?
A: Yes, travertine countertops are porous and require sealing to prevent stains and moisture absorption. It is recommended to seal them annually or as needed, depending on usage and the sealer type.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do travertine countertops compare to marble countertops?
A: Travertine is softer and more porous than marble, making it more susceptible to scratches and stains. Marble offers a more polished, refined look, while travertine has a rustic, natural appearance with unique textures.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can travertine countertops withstand heat?
A: Travertine is heat-resistant and can withstand moderate heat. However, direct contact with hot pots and pans should be avoided to prevent thermal shock or discoloration. Using trivets or hot pads is recommended.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: What should I do if my travertine countertop chips or scratches?
A: Travertine is softer than other stones and more prone to chips and scratches. Minor scratches can be buffed out with sandpaper, and chips can be repaired with epoxy or filler material. Professional repair is recommended for larger damage.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are travertine countertops scratch-resistant?
A: No, travertine is not highly scratch-resistant. Using cutting boards is essential to protect the surface from scratches and maintain its appearance.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How should I clean and maintain travertine countertops?
A: Clean travertine countertops with a pH-neutral cleaner or mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface and the sealer.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can travertine countertops be used outdoors?
A: Yes, travertine can be used outdoors, but it requires sealing and maintenance to protect it from weathering and stains. It is best suited for covered outdoor spaces to minimize exposure to the elements.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do travertine countertops compare to limestone countertops?
A: Travertine and limestone are both natural stones, but travertine is more porous and has a textured surface with natural pits and grooves. Limestone has a smoother, more uniform appearance. Both require sealing and regular maintenance.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are travertine countertops environmentally friendly?
A: Yes, travertine countertops are made from natural stone, which is environmentally friendly. However, the quarrying process can have environmental impacts. Choosing locally sourced travertine can reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
