Travertine |
Article Number: 510 | Rating: 4/5 from 1 votes | Last Updated: Thu, Sep 20, 2007 at 12:00 AM |
I recently had durango travertine tile installed in my kitchen. It's only been a month and I have seen several small holes and don't know if something was dropped or if this is normal. What can I do about the holes and will I continue to find more of them? Thank you.
Dear Shirley:
Like the bumper sticker says it, “stuff happens!”…

But it's no biggie. You can fill your holes with color matching caulk.
Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is far more important than its sealing
(if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about it from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic!
