What is Travertine?

Travertine has quickly become the ‘must have’ natural stone of the century.  It’s for people who are after something a little different. It has a beautiful unique look. This is due to the ‘fill’ process it undergoes. In its rawest from travertine has thousands of hole running through it, these holes are filled, then the stone is polished. The result is a beautiful contrast - part of the tile has a sheen, yet the filled areas remain dull, offering you a completely unique floor. Once installed it looks amazing, working well with both contemporary modern looks as well as classically aged themes.

If you choose to buy travertine you need to be aware that is is an unpredictable product. Its performance greatly depends on the size and density of the holes in it. Whilst the filling process can deal with the surface holes, the internal ones can not be dealt with unless they actually cause a problem.

At Floorell we undertake vigorous testing to ensure our travertine is one of the highest quality, we doubt you will have any problems, but we feel it is only fair to  be honest about the nature of the product. We also provide a free maintenance package that includes filler and instruction on how to deal with the holes if they do occur. We provide this information free with all travertine orders.
