Consider In Using Travertine Tiles

Travertine is one of the most frequently used stones in modern architecture, and is commonly seen as paving material, wall cladding, flooring tiles and garden paths. Travertine is characterized by pitted holes and troughs in its surface.
Travertine is taken from the earth as huge boulders and cut into pieces that are accepted as tiles. The tiles can be cross-cut or vein-cut. In cross-cut, the stone is cut along the grain of its bedding and on the exact layer that it is found in the earth, giving it a consistent color and feel. But in the vein-cut the stone is cut across many levels of its bedding making it look more speckled or striped when chiseled in the form of tiles.
Travertine tiles are generally polished, honed, tumbled or brushed. Polished tiles are smooth, shiny and flat; the honed tiles are also flat and have a matte finish; while the tumbled and brushed tiles have are flat but have a textured finish. The tile finish most commonly used is the honed finish.
Travertine has been used in the construction of buildings for thousands of year. In today’s construction, travertine is used for flooring, cladding on buildings, showers, wall coverings and counter tops.
Travertine is a natural stone product. Because the minerals that make up travertine are highly reactive with acidic solutions (e.g. orange juice, vinegar), a major consideration is where the travertine will be installed and what it will be exposed to. Sealers will provide some protection to the stone no matter what the environment, but knowing what it will be exposed to will help you decide whether travertine is a good fit for your project.
