Travertine from Lowes and Home Depot

Maurizio, Thank you for taking the time to answer so many questions. I am remodeling of my bathroom, mud room, kitchen. I plan on using travertine in at least the bathroom, but plan on getting it from lowes or Home depot. How do I determine the grade of travertine or other stone? Thanks, Allan
 

Dear Allan:

 

How do I determine the grade of travertine or other stone?

 

You don't. It takes a true expert to determine that.

As a rule of thumb, going by my limited direct experience, the Big Box stores carry the lowest grading possible.

One more evidence that the world needs marblecleaning.org!

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?

Ciao and good luck,

Maurizio Bertoli
