Travertine tiles

Travertine tiles provide a slightly reflective finish with a light sheen, tiles are cut straight to ensure an even shape and then polished to provide a smooth surface. Alternatively for a more rustic look you can use tumbled travertine tiles which have a rough, unfinished appearance.

Travertine derives its name from a town called Tivoli, in Italy near the beautiful city of Rome. The largest example of a building made entirely of Travertine is the Coliseum in Rome.

Travertine began life as limestone, which over time has founds its way deep within the earth's crust. Formed by a combination of dissolved limestone and granules travertine is then created and pushed to the surface where it is then quarried.

Travertine is most commonly available in tile sizes for both floor and wall installations and is also one of the most frequently used stones in modern architecture.

Travertine tiles are a very dense form of Calcium Carbonate and as a result are available in various different finishes and colours, they can be used for both residential and commercial environments and can produce a rustic or a contemporary finish.
