Travertine can be sealed to protect the surface of the stone and assist with proper care and cleaning. There are two types of sealers to help protect the natural stone surfaces:

Topical Sealers: Protects the surface of the stone.
Topical sealers protect against water, oil, and substances that can contaminate.
They are made with plastic compounds, waxes, and acrylics.
After the sealer is added, the focus switches to sealer care instead of stone care. At times the sealer needs to be stripped and reapplied.
Impregnators Sealers: 
More than anything impregnator’s sealers are breathable and will not change the natural look of the surface. They are needed for vanity tops and food preparation areas (make sure the one used is safe for food preparation).
Impregnator’s sealers become repellents after they are applied and resist mold, mildew, alga graffiti, grout dyes, mortar haze, acid rain, or any solvent-based solutions that penetrate below the surface of the stone. They repel water, oil and keep contaminants out, while allowing moisture to escape. To read more on natural stone, please visit our forum.
