Travertine stone is delicate to look at. It breathes spaciousness. It's relaxed and soothing. The feeling is peaceful, tranquil and serene.
It's a simple beauty.
The classic aged look of tumbled stone will warm your home. A polished or honed travertine becomes a bit more formal, yet it's still inviting. The soft earthy hues of this natural stone keep it in tune with nature.
Use Travertine on interior walls such as backsplashes, fireplace surrounds and bath surrounds. It is also ideal for floors, mosaic tiles, vanities, and end tables.
Travertine can be used for kitchen countertops. It works well for flooring, bathroom vanities, and smaller spaces. This stone seems to open up areas and makes them feel spacious and airy.
Travertine is often used as a building material. Travertine is one of several natural stones that are used for paving patios and garden paths. It is sometimes known as travertine limestone, sometimes as travertine marble; these are the same stone, even though it is neither limestone nor marble.
The stone is characterised by pitted holes and troughs in its surface. Although these troughs occur naturally, they suggest to some eyes that considerable wear and tear has occurred over many years. Some installers use a grout to fill these holes, whereas others leave them open. Travertine can be purchased "filled" or "unfilled." It can be effectively polished to a smooth, shiny finish and comes in a variety of colors from grey to coral-red. Travertine is most commonly available in tile sizes for floor installations.
Travertine is one of the most frequently used stones in modern architecture, and is commonly seen as facade material, wall cladding, and flooring.
