Saturnia Marble
I am looking at a property for sale that has Saturnia marble throughout the
living area. As I walked through I commented on the floor but I called it Travertine, the owner promptly corrected me stating "no this is not Travertine this is Saturnia marble". I thought the two are the same so I asked her what the differences are and she said Saturnia is a much better grade of stone and is very thick compared to Travertine which is very thin, like tiles. Is she right? I thought the two are interchangeable terms, like raw fish on rice and sushi. The floor is not slippery, in fact, it has a film on it, I think she applied some sort of "rubbery" sealant, and now it looks like there is a layer of glue on it. I thought marble sealing is supposed to have a sheen look, not a rubbery glue look. For some reason, wood baseboards on stone floor seems strange. To have the same marble cut for baseboards will be pretty costly I assume. Any idea for an alternative? Thanks, MC |
