Travertine Floor Tiles and Travertine Tiles Overview

Travertine is historically a very important stone for ancient architecture. It is known as a porous, decorative stone with earthy tones and can lend a rustic, classical appearance to interior and interior spaces. Travertine offers a subtle, simple, classic beauty.

Travertine is a most versatile stone noted for the beauty of its appearance.  It comes in a variety of finishes, colors, and patterns.  Travertine tile can be used indoors on many surfaces.  It is often used in floors throughout the home because of its durability, beauty, and ease of maintenance.   Kitchen floors, entryways, living rooms, dens, recreation rooms, and basements are floors which commonly use travertine.  Because it is fairly non-porous when filled, a homeowner can easily sweep or mop up allergens and hairs on the surface.  This is in contrast to wood or carpet where allergens and hairs can stay embedded fairly easily. 

In the bathroom, when sealed, travertine is virtually waterproof.  Here you can tile your shower pan, shower walls, floor, countertop, and walls in travertine.  Because it is so versatile, you can use travertine in any style bathroom.  It can give your bathroom a simple, modernist style; or an ornate look, like an Italian Spa. While the stone is still strong, the pores can be filled for a solid surface, or can remain unfilled for a more exotic look.
