Travertine slabs
Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs. Typically beige, tan or cream. Has natural voids and layers. Used in both modern and traditional interiors.
Finishes available
- Honed — Matte, smooth surface. The most popular finish for interiors.
- Tumbled — Rounded edges, textured surface. Often used outdoors and for rustic interiors.
- Filled and honed — Natural voids filled with matching resin, then honed flat. Cleaner, more uniform look.
Where travertine works
Travertine is commonly used for wall cladding, fireplace surrounds, bathroom walls and floor tiles. Its warm tones pair well with timber, natural light and greenery. It is softer than granite, so we generally do not recommend it for high-wear kitchen benchtops — it scratches and etches more readily.
Maintenance
Travertine is porous and must be sealed. In wet areas (showers, bathrooms) use a penetrating sealer designed for limestone. Wipe up acidic spills promptly. We supply and install travertine cladding and fireplace surrounds with all sealing included.
