When it comes to maintaining travertine
countertops Jacksonville new for a really long period of time there
are basically a few things that have to be kept in mind. The first thing in
this regard is the quality of the stone followed by a proper routine of
maintenance, and exposure to chemicals. You also need to take into account if
the countertop surface is getting exposed to excessive water or not, or if it
is getting exposed to abrasives as such. The final aspect that you need to
worry about is compression of the material in question.
Coming to stone quality the quality of
your travertine
countertops Fort Myers
would vary depending on the place that you have bought it from. A lot also

the stones that are of a higher quality would have a more compact or tighter
structure. It would have lesser fill areas as well. This means the wide and
shallow areas where the fill gets very little material to bond with. A high
quality travertine slab would also be filled on each of its sides. This means

material may suffer from furniture legs and high heels to name a few.

areas that are not finished or any other kind of blemish in general. The thing
