What Is Travertine Sealing?

What Is Travertine Sealing?

Travertine is a natural stone full of tiny holes and pores. That’s what gives it its warm, cool-to-the-touch look. It’s also why it soaks up water, dirt, pool chemicals and mold spores. Travertine sealing protects those pores with a breathable sealer, so the stone pushes water and stains away instead of drinking them in.

Outdoor travertine in Central Florida takes a beating: afternoon storms, year-round humidity, chlorine and salt from the pool, and strong sun. Left unsealed, it turns gray, grows algae in the shade and loses its joint sand. Sealed the right way, it stays easier to clean and keeps its natural color.

Castle Clean & Seal cleans and seals travertine pool decks, patios and lanais for homeowners in Orlando, Sanford, Lake Mary, Oviedo, DeLand, Daytona Beach and across Volusia, Seminole and Orange County.

  • Gentle low-pressure cleaning that’s safe for natural stone

  • Joint-stabilizing sand in the color you pick

  • Breathable water-based sealer (ICT UrE-Seal H2O)

  • Up to a 30-month warranty with our Platinum package

Our most common job. We clean off algae and pool-chemical buildup, re-sand the joints and seal. At the coping we roll the sealer on by hand, so none goes in your pool.

Technician sealing pavers

1

Step One

Treat It at the Root

We apply a 100% biodegradable algaecide that soaks into travertine’s pores and kills mold, algae and mildew at the source — not just on the surface.

Step Two

Deep Clean, Gently

Travertine is a soft natural stone, so our high-volume, low-pressure system lifts dirt, grime and pool-chemical buildup without chipping or etching the surface.

Step Three

Re-Sand the Joints

A wet sand process packs joint-stabilizing sand deep into every gap. It helps hold the stones in place and greatly reduces weeds and washout.

Step Four

Seal & Protect

We finish with 2–3 coats of premium water-based sealer. It lets the stone breathe, helps repel water and stains, and brings out travertine’s natural color.

Why we only use a water-based sealer on travertine

Why we only use a water-based sealer on travertine

Travertine needs to breathe. Solvent-based sealers can form an airtight film that traps Florida moisture under the surface. That leads to white haze, peeling and a slick, plastic-like coating. We use ICT UrE-Seal H2O, a breathable water-based sealer made for humid climates. It lets moisture escape, and it can go down on a slightly damp surface, which is why we can usually clean and seal in one day.

Travertine is denser than concrete pavers, so the sealer takes a little longer to cure. Plan to stay off it for about 24 hours and wait 48 hours before putting furniture back.

Some sand or debris can reach the pool while we work, so ask your pool company to run a quick vacuum on their next visit.
