Travertine Tiles

Travertine tiles offer a timeless appeal and beauty, combined with a traditional and authentic look. These natural stones will transform any interior space, from country cottages to modern settings. Travertine tiling will make any hallway, kitchen, bathroom, or entrance look like a luxurious showroom.

They are a popular choice for those who are looking for natural stone flooring options. Travertine is essentially a type of limestone, which is formed when certain minerals are dissolved by groundwater. They are known for their durability and aesthetic appearance, and they can work well in any room, small or large, square, or uneven. This is because they are easy to shape and cut.

Travertine tiling is extremely durable, even under heavy foot traffic. The hardness of this stone is similar to marble. This type of tile handles temperature changes very well, meaning they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They come in a wide variety of colours which can suit a range of interior design options. At Authentic Stone we offer travertine tiles from Turkey, Italy, and Iran.

What’s Great About Travertine Tiles?

• Travertine is a sedimentary rock that is laced with loads of small holes. Because these holes could weaken the stone, they are filled with resin to create an even surface. This means travertine is tough and durable.
• Travertine tiles can be left unpolished, meaning its natural texture can offer a great level of slip resistance. This means travertine tiles for bathrooms will offer a safe and sturdy flooring option.
• Travertine tiles are heat resistant so they are also good in areas that are prone to high temperatures. Unlike synthetic materials, like composite decking, travertine tiles outdoors will remain cool to the touch, even with the sun glaring on them all day.

How to Maintain Travertine Tiles

Travertine tiles are a great choice because they are much easier to look after than other natural stones, such as marble. With this tile you should regularly sweep and mop with a mild soap. Make sure you never use a hard bristled brush, and also ensure you choose your floor cleaning solution carefully. Many chemical cleaners contain strong acids that can damage the natural beauty of the stone. Even cleaning products labelled as ‘natural’ can wreak havoc on your tiles. You should make sure you choose a cleaning product that is specifically labelled for use on natural stone.
