Usually the best products used in building and finishing for homes and commercial premises, are natural products such as travertine, which when cut and dressed to form a classy tile enhance any area into which it is fitted. Travertine tiles can be used as a flooring material, kitchen countertop and increasingly as a wall tile. Travertine tiles are increasingly used for exterior cladding and patios and the travertine tile most commonly used is a natural chipped edge version, but honed and polished travertine tiles are best if used as a wall decorative cladding.
Travertine tiles can be supplied as a mosaic; patterns include, brick, standard mosaic, French pattern and mixed colour mosaic. Travertine is a long lasting stone and its durability lends itself to all kinds of application, from private homes to commercial developments. It provides a truly classical look and has a timeless beauty.
The natural colours of travertine make it particularly appealing and although in its purest form travertine tiles are white, but impurities can cause the colour of travertine tile to vary and to be yellow and brown. This beautiful natural stone belongs to the limestone family and because of the way it is formed; it has a unique composition which is due to water that is rich in carbon dioxide travelling through rocks, which are in limestone areas. The water creates cavities, which give travertine tiles their special characteristics and make it so different to other natural stones, giving travertine tiles a unique appeal.
