The Travertine Kitchen Floor
Travertine is one of those ageless beauty types of stone. When properly installed and cared for, it can make a beautiful kitchen flooring .
Making Sure Travertine is the Right Choice for You
When talking to people about choosing travertine for your kitchen floor, it is possible you will hear pros and cons. That is pretty much expected of any flooring material. When considering travertine for any flooring application, it is important to know that your subfloor is in good shape. Installing travertine over a subpar subflooring is not a good choice. Your subfloor should be level and strong to prevent the travertine from shifting after installation.
Another thing to keep in mind is travertine is very slippery with a polished finish. Look for a tumbled or matte finish for the kitchen area. Seal the travertine and grout joints after installation to help protect from spills that naturally occur in the kitchen. Have your flooring installed by a qualified tile installer and then make sure you properly maintain it. Doing these two things will ensure your travertine kitchen floor will look beautiful for many years.
