THE PROJECT:

A homeowner had concerns about the safety of newly installed travertine coping and tiles around their pool and outdoor deck. With small children and guests frequently using the space, improving the slip resistance of the surface was a top priority.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Increase the DCOF (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction) of the factory-honed travertine finish to enhance slip resistance.

• Evenly etch the surface without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the premium natural stone.
• Ensure long-lasting results that minimize maintenance over time.

THE STAIN-PROOF® SOLUTION:

To address these needs, the Accredited Applicator used Stain-Proof by Dry-Treat products to improve surface safety while preserving the stone’s natural beauty. The travertine surface had originally been sealed with a low-cost, big-box store sealer that quickly deteriorated under Florida’s intense sun. To correct this, the surface was thoroughly cleaned using Stain-Proof Acidic Cleaner, effectively preparing it for resealing. It was then treated with Stain-Proof Premium Impregnating Sealer, delivering deep, long-lasting protection while preserving the stone’s natural appearance—without the need for frequent reapplication.

THE RESULT: a quick, effective, and economical solution that met the client’s safety and aesthetic goals.
