ALL ABOUT TRAVERTINE

Coming from limestone family, travertine is referred to as travertine limestone or travertine marble, when it is neither limestone nor marble. Travertine has been used as a building material since Roman times. It was used in Coliseum of Rome as well. Visible holes and crevices are there on the surface of travertine, which is a sedimentary stone.
Travertine can be used for/as flooring material, countertops, showers, paving patios, garden paths, wall coverings and wall cladding. The minerals in travertine are susceptible to acidic reactions, therefore, environmental exposure and location must be carefully considered.
Because of iron compounds and other impurities tiles will differ in color. Variation in color is caused due to this among individual tiles, and this is the reason why natural stones are never single colored. No two tiles are similar in appearance due to this very reason. Hence, while using such tiles, make sure that even with the color variation, the tiles should closely match each other and the difference should not be visible to the eye.
Travertine finishes are honed (matte), polished (shiny), tumbled or brushed (textured surfaces). Honed finish is the most common one and it is smooth and flat. For the ones who want the light to get the least reflected, tumbled surfaces are the best. Travertine comes in crosscuts or veins.
