Polished Travertine

Polished travertine is a high-gloss finish that transforms natural stone into a luxurious surface. By mechanically polishing the stone, the surface becomes reflective, enhancing veining patterns and colors. This finish is especially popular in luxury interiors, including hotels, high-end residences, and commercial spaces, where elegance and sophistication are priorities.

Applications

Polished travertine is widely used indoors, particularly in spaces designed for luxury. Its reflective surface makes it ideal for floors in hotel lobbies, commercial buildings, and high-end residences. Walls, countertops, and bathroom vanities also benefit from its elegant appearance. In wet or outdoor areas, polished travertine should be used with caution due to reduced slip resistance.

Floors & Lobbies

Adds grandeur and brightness to interior spaces like hotel lobbies and corridors.

Walls & Cladding

Used in interior walls and feature panels to highlight natural veining.

Bathrooms & Vanities

Perfect for luxury vanity tops and decorative bathroom walls.

Specifications

Polished travertine is available in slabs and tiles of varying sizes. Standard thicknesses are 10–12 mm for tiles and 20–30 mm for slabs. Water absorption averages 0.4–0.8%, making sealing essential. Polishing reduces surface porosity, but sealing ensures long-term performance. Polished finishes are typically applied to Ivory, Light, and Antico travertine.

Installation & Care

Polished travertine should be installed with professional adhesives and sealed after installation to protect against stains. Care involves regular cleaning with pH-neutral products and resealing every 12–24 months. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can dull the polish. In bathrooms, use rugs or mats to improve safety where water may cause slipperiness.
