Why choose travertine tiles?

A sedimentary rock and type of limestone, travertine is formed from mineral deposits in hot springs. Travertine is a popular tile material thanks to its durability, effective thermal insulation and distinctive weathered appearance - making it a timeless, elegant and rustic option for walls or floors throughout the home.

Tumbled travertine is created through a process in which various similarly sizes pieces of this natural stone are rotated, or tumbled, in a large barrel to give the material a textured, exfoliated surface - reducing the slip factor for a safer and more practical flooring solution.

• Cost-effective - replicate the elegant opulence of marble or granite without the costly price tag to match with our range of travertine tiles. Proving that luxury and expense don’t necessarily go hand in hand, create a high-end aesthetic at a low-end cost - it’s the best of both worlds
• Effortlessly durable - a cheaper price tag doesn’t mean you have to compromise on practicality, though. On the contrary, travertine tiles provide incredible durability in the face of chips, cracks and scratches, as well as boasting a high level of water and moisture resistance when sealed. Effortlessly resisting high levels of regular foot traffic, these tiles are sure to last a lifetime. Don’t believe us? With travertine stone still standing tall at ancient buildings like the Colosseum, we’re confident our range of travertine floor tiles will last in your kitchen or bathroom space for years and years to come 
• Versatile resistance - travertine tiles are extremely resilient, easily tolerating weather fluctuations from heavy rain to scorching heat - making them ideal for interior and exterior flooring alike
• Refined practicality - with natural holes and pits on its porous surface, travertine boasts a natural non-slip texture, meaning these unsealed tiles are practical for areas where splashes and spills are common
• Eco-friendly - since travertine tiles are made of a more natural stone, they don’t go through the same manufacturing process as other types of floor tiles. As such, they’re a great eco-friendly option for homes and commercial spaces concerned with their environmental footprint

Caring for travertine tiles

When it comes to caring for travertine tiles, perhaps the most important aspect is to ensure they’re sealed to guarantee moisture resistance. Applying a natural stone sealer won’t affect the aesthetic of these tiles, but will increase the reaction time against liquid absorption by 4-5 hours - making this a real no-brainer!

As for maintenance of travertine tiles, regular cleaning is recommended, but this isn't a complicated process. On the contrary, a regular vacuum to remove surface dust followed by a damp clean with warm water and a cloth should do the trick - opting for a more thorough scrub using stone cleaner once a month. Avoid vinegar, ammonia, or citrus cleaning products when maintaining your travertine tiles, as these can actually do more harm than good.
