Failing to seal natural travertine tiles leaves the stone completely vulnerable to moisture absorption, dirt buildup, and permanent staining from spilled liquids, oils, and acidic household cleaners. Because travertine is a highly porous sedimentary limestone, unsealed tiles will quickly absorb water in wet areas like showers or kitchens, leading to internal crumbling, mold growth, discoloration, and rapid surface erosion under normal foot traffic and heavy environmental wear.
