Tumbled travertine is a natural stone finish that provides a rustic, antique appearance. Through a mechanical tumbling process, the stone develops softened edges, textured surfaces, and an aged look. This finish is highly valued for its authenticity and charm, often chosen for Mediterranean-inspired interiors and outdoor applications such as patios, pool decks, and courtyards. Tumbled travertine creates warm, inviting spaces with timeless character.
Tumbled travertine is used in both indoor and outdoor projects where a rustic, antique look is desired. Outdoors, it is popular for pool decks, patios, pathways, and garden courtyards thanks to its slip resistance. Indoors, it enhances bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways with old-world style. Designers also use tumbled travertine for feature walls, fireplaces, and accent borders, creating unique visual impact with authentic stone character.
Tumbled finish provides grip and a weathered look. Recommended 30 mm thickness for durability. Choose lighter colors to reduce heat absorption.
Non-slip R11–R13 rating makes tumbled travertine ideal for wet zones. It stays cooler underfoot compared to concrete or porcelain. Seal periodically for protection against pool chemicals.
Rustic edges and textured surfaces blend naturally with landscapes. Lay on compacted base with sand joints for drainage and flexibility.
Tumbled travertine adds character to garden walls and indoor feature walls. Combine with honed or polished elements for contrast.

Tumbled travertine is available in tiles, pavers, and mosaics. Standard tile thickness ranges from 10–12 mm for indoor use, while outdoor pavers are produced in 30–50 mm thickness for durability. Water absorption averages 0.5–1.0%, requiring sealing to prevent staining. Sizes include modular patterns, 300×300 mm, 400×400 mm, and 600×600 mm, as well as custom cuts for unique designs.
Tumbled travertine should be installed with cement-based adhesives indoors and on compacted sand or mortar outdoors. Sealing is essential to protect from stains and moisture. For wet areas like bathrooms and pools, reseal every 12–18 months. Cleaning requires pH-neutral products, avoiding acids that may damage the stone. Proper care preserves both the beauty and performance of tumbled travertine for years.
