Travertine
Beautiful travertine (often referred to as travertine marble) falls somewhere between Limestone and Marble, separated by approximately 20 million years of rock formation, where dissolved Limestone has been allowed to mix with steam under enormous pressure. Travertine flooring and other travertine products can be successfully treated to produce several different looks (such as tumbled travertine, honed and filled travertine, etc).Our travertine products come in a number of different finishes to suit your taste and environment. For those that prefer a smooth feel under foot and hand the travertine is honed and finished at our factories. This is a process of filling the holes before polishing the surface. If a traditional finish is your preference, the travertine is sandblasted leaving the natural undulation of the stone (often referred to as tumbled travertine). Other options include hand chiselled edges and an opus pattern were the stone comes in mixed sizes to give an ‘old world’ effect. Please call one of our expert advisors who will be happy to discuss your needs and options.
