Travertine tiles – uses and applications

Travertine is a natural stone which has been used for thousands of years as a building material. It has multiple applications including interior and exterior floors, walls and surfaces and can be supplied in its standard form (pitted holes and troughs) or filled and smoothed to a shiny finish.

Travertine tiles are popular with construction companies and home owners alike as they are strong and durable and will last for many years; travertine also stays cool in the summer even during intense sun light and prevents efflorescence, which is a white substance that can stain concrete and other man made materials, thus making them less desirable for a luxury style.

There are many types of travertine tile available on the market such as standard and paving tiles as well as a range of mosaic tiles including square mosaic, brick mosaic, French mosaic and mixed colour mosaics. Travertine tiles are also available in different colours from grey to red-coral which will easily suit any home.
