The Filled and Old World Honed™
products available from our Durango Stone
Mexican travertine are unsurpassed in quality.
A great amount of detail and pride go into every individually
inspected piece.
Our process consists of filling the stone, honing with 400-grit,
refilling the stone and then honing again using 16 320-grit heads. This
achieves a very hard, semi-sheen surface that resists the wear patterns
commonly associated with travertine floors.
It also ensures the surface film that is found on a vast majority
of our competitor’s material is non-existent.
The process also makes the floors much easier to clean.
Nobody wants to go through the expense of having their floors
honed in place in the future.
The majority of other plants use 200 to 250-grit heads to hone
their products. These are
great selling features that you can use over your competition.
Additionally, our fill is color-matched and selected to run with the
tonality of the stone, creating an aesthetically pleasing palette of
color.
All Filled and Old World Honed™
products are fully gauged and calibrated.
Half sizes for patterns are nominal allowing for grout joints in
“block” patterns both in finishes, ensuring the installer a fighting
chance to achieve a wonderful finished installation that they can be
proud of. True sized tiles
are a beautiful thing!
A 1-mm micro beveled edge is applied to the tiles to aid in ease of
installation and to avoid the chipped edges so often seen in square cut
tiles.
The advantage to this is three-fold:
·
One being the forgiving nature of the edge in installation to help
eliminate lippage.
·
Secondly, all sharp edges are eliminated, not only increasing the safety
factor in regards to barefoot traffic, but also the running of hands
across the surface. A very
important factor to consider for your clients who may have children
playing or crawling across the floor.
·
The third advantage is the after installation, chipping that commonly
occurs from foot traffic on a square edged stone does not occur.
