Designing with travertine cladding? This guide details thickness, anchoring systems, finishes, weather resistance and care—so architects and contractors can specify travertine cladding for interior walls and exterior facades with confidence. As a quarry-backed Turkish travertine supplier, we support FOB/CIF/EXW export with photo-documented loading.
Travertine cladding is the use of natural travertine stone as a decorative and functional covering for walls, facades, and architectural surfaces. This application adds elegance, insulation benefits, and durability to both interiors and exteriors. Turkish travertine cladding is especially popular for luxury homes, hotels, and public buildings due to its timeless aesthetic and robust performance.
Travertine cladding is used in both residential and commercial projects. Indoors, it adds character to living rooms, lobbies, and feature walls. In bathrooms and kitchens, it brings luxury to wall coverings. Outdoors, it is widely applied in building facades, garden walls, and commercial exteriors, combining durability with timeless beauty.
Use 10–12 mm tiles or 20 mm slabs for feature walls. Honed or brushed finishes add depth without glare. Plan for movement joints and consistent shade across lots.
Specify 20–30 mm slabs with mechanical anchors or ventilated facade systems. Choose brushed or tumbled surfaces for texture and reduced glare. Seal and plan drainage.
High-traffic lobbies and corridors benefit from honed slabs for durability and easy maintenance. Coordinate panel sizes with elevator and site access constraints.
Large-format panels (e.g., 1200×2400) deliver continuous visuals. Consider vein direction (cross-cut vs vein-cut) for the desired pattern and bookmatch potential.
Creates luxurious wall finishes in living rooms, lobbies, and feature spaces.
Adds spa-like luxury and elegance to bathroom and kitchen walls.
Durable cladding that protects and beautifies building exteriors.
Travertine cladding panels and tiles are produced in standard thicknesses of 10–12 mm for interiors and 20–30 mm for exteriors. Common sizes include 300×600 mm and 600×1200 mm, though custom dimensions are available. Absorption rates average 0.4–0.8%, requiring sealing for long-term protection. Finishes range from polished to tumbled, depending on design style.
Travertine cladding should be installed with strong adhesives or mechanical anchoring systems, depending on panel size and placement. Sealing is required after installation and should be reapplied every 12–24 months. Cleaning with neutral products keeps cladding surfaces pristine, while routine checks for exterior facades ensure long-term durability.
