Applications

Antico travertine is often used in projects where traditional or Mediterranean character is desired. Indoors, it enriches bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms with rustic charm. Outdoors, it is popular for courtyards, terraces, and facades, where its weathered look enhances authenticity. It also serves well for landscaping, garden walls, and pool decks, making it a versatile choice for decorative and functional purposes.

Rustic Floors

Antico’s deep beige and earthy tones create rustic flooring with warmth. Use honed or brushed finishes indoors for traction, tumbled outdoors for grip. Thickness 10–12 mm for interiors, 30 mm+ for exteriors.

Outdoor Patios

Tumbled Antico pavers blend naturally with gardens and courtyards. Slip-resistant and freeze-thaw durable when installed on proper base with drainage.

Feature Walls

Antico slabs add dramatic character with rich variation. Perfect for rustic interiors, restaurants and lobbies. Combine with lighting to highlight texture.

Fireplaces

Natural cavities and earthy shades make Antico ideal for fireplace surrounds. Seal to protect against soot and stains while retaining rustic look.

Courtyards & Terraces

Adds rustic charm to outdoor living spaces and Mediterranean-style patios.

Bathrooms

Creates warm, traditional bathrooms with walls, floors, and vanity tops.

Facades & Walls

Specifications

Antico travertine is produced in tiles, slabs, pavers, and mosaics. Tile thickness ranges from 10–12 mm, slabs 20–30 mm, and pavers 30–50 mm. Absorption rates are typically 0.5–1.0%, requiring sealing for protection. Available in tumbled, brushed, honed, and polished finishes, antico travertine offers flexibility across rustic and refined projects alike.

Installation & Care

Antico travertine should be installed using appropriate adhesives and sealed after installation to protect against stains and moisture. Outdoors, proper drainage and support systems are required. Maintenance involves cleaning with neutral products and resealing every 12–18 months. Because its rustic tones can hide dirt and wear, antico travertine is often considered a low-maintenance option despite its porosity.
