bring your Interior to life with unique surfaces:
The finish materials you use for your interior surfaces can become some of the most important focal points. Using a carefully selected stone for interior floors and walls, and other surfaces, can add the unique tactile effect that exudes beauty, sophistication, and luxury. Take advantage of our carefully curated stone options to introduce a new standard.
USES:
Travertine can be used for flooring and wall surfaces, both for indoor and outdoor applications.
Color Range
Travertine is a natural stone with light to medium creams, grays and browns. Sometimes it exhibits a yellow or reddish tint. Some tiles show contrasting colors, creating a more rustic aesthetic.
Travertine does exhibit strong color variation from slab to slab, so selecting specific tiles is important.
Grain & Visual Pattern:
Travertine’s visual variations allow for a range of aesthetics. Its grain can be straight and refined, or wavy and even irregular with a rugged appearance.
Rustic looking Travertine can be found with holes, tracks, and streaks.
Carefully selecting the pattern of the travertine for your project is recommended to find your tailored look.
Texture and Finish:
Travertine stone has a naturally rough texture due to its holes. Therefore, it is suitable for:
- a naturally aged finish
- a rustic finish with a rough texture
- a brushed finish
The holes in travertine can also be filled, providing a smooth and even texture, making it great for:
- a satin finish
- a light brush finish
- a smooth, mechanically sanded finish
- a polished or high-gloss finish
However, due to the many different colors and pattern anomalies found with different stones, the right finish will depend on the travertine tiles you choose.
Environmental
We believe when the building industry sources and manufactures building materials with sustainability in mind, we all live in a healthier world, and we want to do our part. Travertine tiles are ecologically friendly. They do not contain any VOCs, and are better than their non eco-friendly counterparts.
