Title: showin off part deux
Post by: 82daytona on August 02, 2009, 11:47:56 AM

This is a full restoration on a travertine floor.This is what you would see in a casino/hotel floor.Its now completly flat with not one lip in the house.Not even the best tile setter could ever come close to setting it this flat.The first pic is before and the others are after.Enjoy and pm for price  ;D

I've been in the flooring biz my entire adult life, never really heard of such a thing. Are you able to sand it down somehow??? I've seen demo's for those concrete polisher deals, is it like that?? Does it work on both filled and unfilled travertine?

In the first pic you can see the floor machine.Its a special low speed (175rpm)Its a wet process so youre pretty much wet sanding with diamond pads just like I use on granite but these are ridgid and made for floors.This machine can also polish concrete with a diffrent attachment on it.This floor didnt shine up to good b/c its a low quailty commercial travertine and its a very light color so you can only do so much with it.This can also be done on a tumbled floor with out the de lip process.So on those floors all you can do is clean seal and polish

Does this buff out the same way a Terazo floor does .
When I worked at LAX, the "owner" brought a water hose and sprayed the hell out of the Tom Bradley Int. reception Hall to look for "bird baths" and was charged accordingly  ;D  :thumbup:
Kick ass work Eric!
