<div> I have discovered that at home here in Iowa, they used a tumbled 
travertine tile 1&quot; thick for the floor of my outdoor kitchen.  Since 
we have great temperature variations here in Iowa, apparently they have had 
issues with what to seal it with.  Apparently with the freeze- thaw 
conditions in the winter, it has caused problem with the tiles breaking 
up.  Any info would be very appreciated</div>
<div>Thank you</div>
