What gives travertine its character?

Travertine is a natural limestone with pores and layered movement. Cream, beige and earthy tones can work well with timber, planting and warm neutral interiors. Variation is part of the material, so compare multiple pieces from the actual batch rather than expecting every tile to match a photograph.

Filled and unfilled travertine

Filling changes the appearance and maintenance of the natural pores. Ask how your selected tile is filled and finished, and whether that specification suits the room. Unfilled surfaces have a more open texture and need careful consideration where dirt, food or standing water may collect.

Travertine for interiors and terraces

For interior floors, consider traffic, furniture and the cleaning routine. For covered terraces and courtyards, discuss exposure, drainage, thickness and slip performance. An outdoor inspiration photograph does not establish suitability: confirm the actual product and installation details for your site.

Planning the pattern and order

Decide the tile format and layout before ordering. Straight layouts and multi-size patterns have different cutting requirements. Ask your installer to calculate the quantity and waste allowance. RN Stone can review your preferred appearance and confirm the available material options for your enquiry.
