travertine tops keep looking as great as they do Description
We bought a travertine coffee table and (http://maplered.com) side table a few months back and (http://maplered.com) are concerned about making sure the travertine tops keep looking as great as they do now. We always use coasters, but recently had a guest who (despite a dozen or so coasters being spread out around the table) put a wet beer bottle directly on the coffee table. Although it had only been sitting there for maybe 15 to 30 minutes before I discovered it and (http://maplered.com) cleaned it up, it caused a ring. Fortunately I was able to remove to the point where it's hardly visible any more. After that happened, we were thinking that maybe we should try to seal the tables, so I bought a bottle of StoneSpecific sealer for tumbled/honed travertine. Before I try to use it, I was hoping to get answers to these questions:
I think our travertine top is the honed variety, but how do I know for sure? The top is smooth, but not to the point where it is glossy.
I'm not sure whether the table might have been sealed at the factory. How do I know whether it's been sealed or not, and (http://maplered.com) what would happen to the Stone (http://g603.net) if I tried to seal it after it has already been sealed?
To what extent would sealing prevent future stains in this type of Material (http://g654.org) ?
