Travertine is an earlier form of marble. It takes thousands of years for travertine to turn into marble. Being said that they are almost the same, we should distinguish them in the ways they are different:-Travertine is porous, marble is dense, which makes travertine an ideal product for outdoors such as pool decks and patios and marble ideal for indoors.Here are some samples of travertine pavers and marble tiles:http://travertinemart.com/Pavers.php

What chemicals are used by carpet professionals to remove animal odors from concrete?

Animal odors emitting from a concrete surface is caused from urine being absorbed into the concrete. After it enters the gel-pore/capillary system in the concrete, bacteria form and you get the "Kennel Smell". This is of course is assuming all solid waste has been removed from the surface. ( Yes, concrete is very absorbent ) I use a cleaner that kills the bacteria [even Parvo virus= kennel cough] first, then apply a penetrating sealer. This product enters a porous concrete through the gel-pore structure reacts with the Alkali found in all Portland Cement products and forms a solid inside giving you a waterproof and acid resistant concrete. Depending on how contaminated the concrete is, the first application may displace contaminates and force them to the surface. This may require a wash and rinse to remove, then determine if an additional application is needed. Bottom line: When a concrete is waterproofed with this product you get a 15 year warranty on waterproofing, no more contaminates enter the concrete and any smell will be from fresh waste On and not In the concrete!

Do you need a waterproof membraine if installing floor boards directly onto concrete?

If you understand that concrete is a porous material that absorbs and has moisture in it, you then should also understand that this moisture will move toward the top surface of a concrete floor. This moisture will promote mold growth and will also destroy the bond of of most adhesives. Membrane coatings are prone to failure when this moisture carries alkali in concrete to the surface. You are much better off using a penetrating sealer such as "StableCrete" to waterproof the concrete. This product penetrates to form a solid in the capillary/gel-pore system of a concrete. This stops moisture migration and provides for a superior bond to the concrete.
