THE GUIDE TO TRAVERTINE TILES

Travertine is a preferred choice for both indoor and outdoor tiling, highly recommended by contractors and architects alike. This material is renowned for its ability to enhance both the interior and exterior spaces of a home. The warm and inviting hues of travertine are not just captivating but transformative, lending a sense of refinement and allure wherever used.

The earthy tones inherent to travertine have the unique ability to uplift any area, adding a layer of elegance and beauty. Its combination of aesthetic appeal, functionality, and durability makes travertine a standout material. It is capable of boosting the aesthetic value of any home, whether it’s a classic residence or a modern, luxurious mansion, making it a versatile choice for homeowners seeking to enhance their living spaces.

Travertine is one of the best natural stone tiles you can use, given its classic, warm look and durability for temperamental climates.

Melbourne and other parts of coastal Australia are known for their unpredictable weather, with intermittent periods of rain and sunshine throughout the day. Travertine tiles are capable of withstanding extreme heats, retaining warm temperatures without becoming a safety hazard and are soft on the feet.

Conversely, they’re also the perfect addition to sections of your home that are susceptible to moisture such as pools, bathrooms and spa areas. Travertine is ideal for using as pool pavers and our entire collection comes with matching pool coping tiles

If you’re looking for a low maintenance option that is easy to clean and maintain its natural beauty, travertine pavers are the ideal tiling solution that delivers a stunning, aesthetic finish.

Laying travertine tiles (and all natural stone tiles for that matter), is a relatively simple process but it is recommended to have a qualified tiling professional install them for you.

The nature of your installation process depends on the thickness of the paver. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend the following:

12mm Thick: Pavers should be laid onto a concrete slab or over waterproofed suitably thick cement sheet. Great for balconies and decks, especially where its important to keep the overall weight down.

20mm Thick: Pavers can be laid as above or onto a compacted road base into a wet slurry of sand and cement.

30mm Thick: Pavers can be laid as both above or onto a compacted road base into a dry sand bed, great for tiling over easements or where you require water permeation to occur for drainage.

Travertine stone does contain natural ailments such as pitting and catspaw on the surface of the paver, but it can be minimised using a colour-matching grout.

Although naturally durable and weather-resistant, stone still needs some extra love to ensure that it maintains its beauty and strength all year round.

It is highly recommended to seal your travertine pavers with an invisible penetrating sealer. We recommend advising against using a colour sealer, as these tend to highlight any natural ailments the stone may have that are not visible to the naked eye.

Travertine also responds well to pressure washing, so it is strongly advised to avoid using chemical agents that may stain the surface of the stone. For any spillage or simple cleaning, it’s recommended to use a pressure washer with the nozzle at least 300mm above the face of the stone.

Travertine paving is a great way to accentuate the value of your outdoor area, with its beautiful blends of cream and white colours, enriched with light caramel highlights. If opting for a 20mm-30mm paver, they also double as the perfect choice for driveway pavers.

For those looking for a traditional finish, travertine stone is a fantastic, cost-effective choice that doesn’t compromise on quality.
