Applications

Travertine flooring is used across homes, hotels, offices, and retail spaces. It works well in living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms. Commercially, it adds elegance to lobbies, corridors, and restaurants. With finishes tailored to slip resistance and design, travertine floors can adapt to any architectural style.

Residential Flooring

Warm tones and natural patterns enhance living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms. Use 10–12 mm tiles; honed or brushed finishes offer comfortable slip resistance.

Commercial Flooring

Travertine handles high traffic in hotels, offices and retail spaces. Use larger formats to reduce grout lines and specify honed/brushed for safety.

Bathrooms

Honed travertine provides safe traction for wet floors. Polished looks luxurious on walls and vanities. Seal regularly to prevent moisture penetration.

Outdoor Areas

Tumbled or brushed travertine suits patios and walkways with R11–R13 slip resistance. Use 30–40 mm pavers for durability in freeze-thaw climates.

Living Spaces

Enhances living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan interiors with natural charm.

Commercial Floors

Durable and elegant floors for hotels, offices, and restaurants.

Bathrooms

Moisture-resistant floors when sealed, adding spa-like luxury.

Specifications

Travertine flooring tiles typically measure 10–12 mm thick, with larger slabs available at 20–30 mm. Common sizes include 300×300, 400×400, and 600×600 mm, with custom options available. Absorption rates average 0.4–0.8%, so sealing is required for stain protection.

Installation & Care

Travertine flooring should be installed with cement-based adhesives on stable substrates. Sealing at installation is essential, with resealing recommended every 12–24 months. Daily cleaning requires neutral pH products, while rugs or mats are advised in high-traffic areas. Avoid acids and abrasives that could damage the stone.
