Travertine Slabs

FAQ

What is travertine, and how is it formed?

Travertine is a natural sedimentary stone formed by mineral deposits from natural springs, especially hot springs. Over thousands of years, calcium carbonate accumulates and hardens into the distinctive porous stone known for its warm, earthy tones and unique texture.

Travertine slabs are versatile and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Common uses include:

  • Flooring

  • Wall cladding

  • Bathroom vanities

  • Kitchen backsplashes

  • Outdoor patios and pool surrounds

Its natural slip resistance and durability make it especially popular for outdoor areas.

Travertine is durable but softer and more porous than granite or quartzite, so it requires proper sealing to protect against stains and wear. With appropriate maintenance, regular sealing and gentle cleaning,it remains beautiful for decades. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve its natural finish.
