With its porous structure, travertine gives a warm, natural look, but those same pores trap dirt, sand and water over time. Open holes darken, the surface becomes rough, and limescale and algae marks form around pool edges. In travertine honing, we first fill the voids, then level the surface with diamond tooling and finish it to the desired look. Across Antalya, Mersin, Adana and Muğla, we carry out this work from start to finish with our own team on villa, hotel and housing complex travertine.
What do we do in travertine honing?
What determines the lifespan of travertine is filling the pores correctly and protecting the surface properly. We plan the job around these two steps.
- Deep cleaning: Dirt, sand and limescale packed into the pores are removed with machines and suitable chemicals.
- Pore filling: Open holes are filled with travertine filler matched to the color of the stone.
- Honing and leveling: Once the filler has cured, the surface is leveled with diamond tools and height differences are removed.
- Finish: Indoors, a silky or polished finish is applied; outdoors, a non-slip matte finish.
- Impregnation: The stone is saturated with a protective sealer against water, stains and algae.
Areas where we do travertine honing
- Pool edges: Travertine worn and made slippery by chlorinated water and sun.
- Terraces and garden paths: Darkened outdoor floors with open pores.
- Indoor floors: Travertine flooring in living rooms, corridors and entrances.
- Wall cladding: Cleaning and filling of travertine panels on facades and interior walls.
- Stairs: Travertine steps with worn edges.
How do we work?
- Inspection: We check whether the travertine is filled or unfilled and how open the pores are, and we give you the price on site.
- Cleaning: We dissolve the dirt and limescale on the surface and open up the pores.
- Filling: We fill the voids with a putty matched to the color tone and wait for it to dry.
- Honing: We remove the excess filler and the worn layer on the surface with diamond pads.
- Protection: We apply impregnating sealer and hand over a clean area.
We plan outdoor jobs according to the weather; filling and impregnation are applied on dry, rain-free days.
Safe surfaces around pools and on terraces
For outdoor travertine, safety matters more than shine. In areas where people walk with wet feet, we finish the surface in a non-slip matte or brushed texture.
- Slip resistance: A matte finish improves grip on wet floors.
- Heat: Light-colored travertine does not overheat in the sun, so it is comfortable to walk on barefoot.
- Easy maintenance: The impregnated surface resists limescale and algae and can be cleaned with pressurized water.
For hotels and residential complexes, we schedule pool surround projects to be completed before the season opens.
