Travertine Paver SealerHow to Seal Travertine Pavers

A beautiful hardscape can be created using travertine pavers. There are many exterior uses for these types of pavers like driveways, sidewalks, pool decks, patios, and more. Sealing travertine pavers can help enhance their beauty and prolong their longevity.

Before you seal travertine pavers, they need to be cleaned. Use a mild detergent to remove any moderate dirt buildup and contaminants with a brush or pressure washer. Perform spot cleaning on specific stains if necessary using the appropriate cleaner such as a degreaser on oil spots, a rust remover on rust stains, and so on.

 

Allow the travertine pavers to dry for a day or more before sealing. To seal travertine pavers, use a water repellent siloxane-based sealer like Masonry Saver Heavy Duty or SuperSeal M. This will help the pavers to resistant moisture and UV rays and keep them from weathering. You can also use an acrylic based sealer like SuperSeal 25 to enhance the paver’s color similar as to if wet with water and give a shiny finish.

Before sealing, check the weather to be sure it is clear of rain and extreme temperatures. It is best to apply the sealer using a roller or pump sprayer. A good metal contractor grade pump sprayer is ideal. Use plastic to block of any surface you do not want sealer on.

Start in one corner of the area to be sealed and work in sections spraying just enough sealer to cover the surface. After spraying a section, you can use a roller to spread the sealer for a more even application. Complete the process until all the travertine pavers are sealed.

Regular sealing maintenance should be performed on travertine pavers every 1-3 years or as needed. Protecting your hardscape travertine paver investment is a wise decision that will ensure the pavers last for many years of use and continue adding value to your home.

Hello, I have a travertine paver that I just installed on my patio. I would like a sealant that look-wet but is non-slip and durable. Before sealing it, how should I prepare the travertine?

Can I mix SuperSeal M with other products? I used S-PS Specialty Penetrating by SRW for part of my space, and probably need additional 2 five gallons to complete the rest of the project. Your SuperSeal M product is considerably cheaper. Can I use it to complete the rest of the space (not sure if it will be noticeable, or other technical quirks that i should be thinking about). Thanks,

You cannot mix them together. You can use it to finish the rest of your space but it cannot go on top f the other sealer.

May I apply super seal m on travertine? If so may it be applied by using a roller and not a sprayer? What size roller nap do I use? Also just had 775 sq ft laid, will 5 gallons be enough since it is to cover 1,000 sq ft? Thanks. Don Wood.

I have a saltwater pool, with Travitine tile and concrete coping. Can I use the Supreme shield SB 600 on the Travitine as well as the concrete coping?
also, if there is old sealant on it, does this first need to be removed? I am not sure of the product that was used.

We would suggest not on the coping. As far as removing the old sealer, that would depend on if the old sealer has discolored in any way.

Good morning, guys! Great job with this post/forum, learning a lot….quick question to reduce my doubts a bit more; we (wife & I) are getting into the process of sealing our terrace’s “kashmir” travertine in Miami, Fl, and as per this blog’s Q/A we’ve learned that sealing process it is necessary even if you love the feeling of your natural stone under your foot or if the stone is undercover (but still outdoor), so…If we would go with the Superseal M sealer (I understand that at today’s date for travertine you are only recommending Superseal M and SB600 but we would like to keep away from the “wet look” and, also, SB600 needs the heavy duty sprayer which is out of stock…sooo….the question is, if we would go with the Superseal M sealer:
-Can we/should we use a polymeric sand previously to sealing to fill/toughen the joints?…
-Or we dont NEED to use polymeric sand, just sand?
-What sounds to you a good pair sand/sealer for our case?
Ive found these around, didn’t found any in your site yet but that would be great because Im planning to buy the sealer from you although it will take a week or more to arrive to Miami:

Sorry, Ive extended myself a bit….thank you for your time!

It varies based on the appearance you want after sealing. 

-Super Seal-M has no change of appearance. Seals and protects. Can be used on travertine.
-SuperSeal 25 is a wet look and semi-gloss appearance. Not suggested for travertine as the gloss can dry blotchy on travertine.
-Supreme Shield SB-600 is a wet look sealer with no gloss. Can be used on travertine.

We do not suggest gloss sealers for travertine. You can use a wet-look sealer like the SB-600 to enhance the appearance: https://www.brickpaversealer.com/wet-look/no-gloss

No sealers can prevent black tire marks but they can make it easier to clean off.

I have ivory travertine on a pool deck (salt water pool) and adjacent covered patio in Central Florida.  It is west facing with no shade on the pool deck.  I love the color in it’s dry natural state.  When wet, it darkens (normal for stone).   I think because it is not sealed, it has an almost uneven, chalky appearance at a certain angle of view.  What sealer should I use to keep it looking light but protect it from the Florida sun and perhaps even out the chalkiness??  Thanks so much!!

The only way to even out the chalkiness is to apply a wet look sealer which you do not prefer. To seal without changing the appearance, you would want the SuperSeal-M.

I am installing Corvina tumbled travertine 2″x6″ tile on kitchen backsplash, attached with thinset or whatever it’s called. I intend to do this with zero grout line, thus no grout.
1. Are you ok with not using grout?
2. Is it better to apply sealer prior to vertical/wall installation, where I would also be able to apply the sealer to the edges of the tile as well as the face.
3. Do some sealers change the shade/color of the tile more than other sealers? If so, how can I tell which sealer to use for the least amount of change? 
Thanks for your help!

Hello, we had travertine pavers installed about 6 months ago. Our pavers have a lot of holes in them and we believe the installer used a travertine filler and fine sanded grout to fill the holes and seal the joints. On some of the pavers it looks like the filler is coming out like dirt and looks orange. I’d like to seal the pavers so the filler does not continue to come out and to give it a more finished look. We prefer the natural stone look but also want the pavers to be sealed. Which sealer should we use?

Hi,

A sealer will not prevent the filler from coming out. Nothing will. To seal and protect the pavers, try Supreme Shield SB-600 or Super Seal 25.

We live in Miami, Florida and had our travertine pool deck finished May 2021.  Even though the builder said it wasn’t necessary, we decided to seal it.  We got a quote from Grout Doctor for a chemical and power wash and sealing with two coats of penetrating sealer and got it done the end of September 2021.  We have taken care of everything the way I asked them to explain because they didn’t even give recommendations.  After such a short time, you can see by the first 6 pictures how my travertine looks now.  The last picture was taken by one side of the pool that’s uncovered (no roof or pergola).  Is there any solution?  Can you please help us?

The sealer that was applied is turning white? If so, it has to come off to fix. Do you know the brand and type of sealer that was used?

The other potential issue is you may have efflorescence leaching out.

To me, it is that no sealer was applied.  The worst issue is the stone deteriorating and all the mold and fungus.  And now that black “grout” that it’s creating.  They said sealer was water based.  In case sealer came off and efflorescence is leaching out, what would you recommend?

No sealer can prevent leaf stains. It will make cleaning easier.

Had travertine pool deck installed in South Florida and the installer used a sealer with sand in it for grip. Absolutely cannot stand the texture plus the sealer seems to be wearing rather quickly and have dull spots all around. How quickly can I expect a sealer to wear? I believe they only did 1 coat because we have a lot of dull spots already and it has only been 5 months. Would pressure washing remove existing sealer? Whatever they used was horrible and looks horrible!!

It will not wear off fully and you cannot pressure wash it off with just water. You will need to strip it.https://www.brickpaversealer.com/concrete-and-paver-sealer-stripper-5-gallon

Thank you! What sealer do you recommend that does not show dull spots when it wears?

As we mentioned, it will not wear off, it will have to be stripped. Once removed fully, use a penetrating sealer like this: https://www.brickpaversealer.com/supreme-shield-sb-600-5-gallon
