Considering brushed travertine? This guide explains the lightly textured finish, where it works best (interior floors, bathrooms, outdoor terraces, wall cladding) and how it compares to honed or tumbled. As a quarry-backed Turkish travertine supplier, we also provide FOB/CIF/EXW export with photo-documented loading.
Brushed travertine is a finish created by lightly treating the stone surface with brushes, giving it a soft texture and subtle aged look. This process enhances natural patterns while adding gentle grip, making brushed travertine both practical and visually appealing. It is a versatile finish used across floors, walls, and outdoor areas where slip resistance and warmth are desired.
Brushed travertine is used in spaces where both safety and style are important. Indoors, it is applied in kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways where slip resistance matters. Outdoors, it is favored for terraces, garden paths, and patios. Its textured finish reduces slipperiness in wet conditions while preserving the natural beauty of the stone. Brushed travertine also works well in transitional spaces connecting indoor and outdoor areas.
Brushed travertine adds gentle texture underfoot with better slip comfort than polished. Specify 10–12 mm tiles; use larger formats to reduce grout lines in living areas.
More grip than polished, smoother feel than tumbled—ideal for bathroom floors and shower surrounds. Seal regularly and ensure good ventilation.
Light texture improves traction while keeping a refined look. Choose lighter colors to reduce heat; consider 20–30 mm tiles or 30–40 mm pavers for durability.
Soft texture enhances shadows and depth on feature walls and facades. Combine with honed or polished accents for contrast.
Slip-friendly and warm, perfect for living rooms, kitchens, and hallways.
Used for floors and walls in showers, baths, and spa areas.
Textured surface ideal for outdoor entertaining and garden paths.
Brushed travertine is produced in slabs, tiles, and pavers. Tiles are typically 10–12 mm thick for indoor floors, while slabs measure 20–30 mm. Outdoor pavers are available in 30–50 mm thickness for durability. Water absorption averages 0.5–1.0%, requiring sealing to maintain performance. This finish is available across popular colors such as Ivory, Light, and Antico.
Brushed travertine should be installed with cement-based adhesives indoors and on compacted bases or mortar beds outdoors. Sealing is essential after installation and should be repeated every 1–2 years, especially in wet areas. Cleaning requires pH-neutral solutions to avoid etching the stone. With proper installation and care, brushed travertine maintains its textured beauty and durability for many years.
