Honed Travertine

Honed travertine is a popular finish that delivers a smooth, matte surface without the reflective shine of polished stone. This finish provides a modern, understated elegance that works beautifully in both residential and commercial projects. Honed travertine is ideal for floors, walls, and countertops where a contemporary look and slip comfort are priorities.

Applications

Honed travertine is widely used in both residential and commercial spaces. Indoors, it enhances flooring, wall cladding, and countertops with its refined, non-reflective look. In bathrooms, it provides a slip-friendly option for floors and shower walls. Kitchens benefit from honed countertops that balance practicality with style. Outdoors, honed travertine can be used in covered terraces and facades, though sealing is required for weather resistance.

Floors & Interiors

Ideal for large-format flooring in living rooms, hallways, and office spaces.

Bathrooms & Wet Areas

Safer than polished, honed travertine works well for shower walls and floors.

Countertops

A practical choice for kitchen and bathroom counters where a modern look is desired.

Specifications

Honed travertine is supplied in standard tiles and slabs, typically 10–12 mm thick for tiles and 20–30 mm for slabs. Its water absorption rate averages 0.4–0.8%, requiring sealing for moisture protection. The matte surface reduces light reflection, making it comfortable in brightly lit spaces. Available in Ivory, Light, and Antico shades, honed travertine adapts easily to different design styles.

Installation & Care

Honed travertine should be installed on stable substrates using cement-based adhesives. Sealing is critical to protect against stains and moisture, especially in bathrooms and kitchens. Routine care involves cleaning with neutral products and resealing every 1–2 years. Avoid acidic cleaners which can etch the surface. With proper maintenance, honed travertine retains its elegant matte finish for decades.
