Titanium Travertine Slabs

Titanium Travertine History

Travertine forms when dissolved calcium and carbonate ions in mineral-rich geothermal springs precipitate into solid calcium carbonate crystals. Over centuries, the stone slowly forms the bands and veining that make it distinctive. 

Technical Specifications

Titanium Travertine offers natural thermal regulation, a porous surface and a 3 to 5 rating on the Mohs scale.

Finish Guide for Titanium Travertine Slabs

The most common finishes for Titanium Travertine are polished and honed. Polished stone is buffed for a smooth, reflective surface, while honed Titanium Travertine features an attractive matte appearance. Leathered finishes are also a popular choice, creating a low-luster, pebbled surface that can hide fingerprints on countertops. Specialty finishes are also available. 

Titanium Travertine slabs are often filled or unfilled. The stone features pits left by gas bubbles, creating a porous surface with lots of character. Filled slabs smooth these out with resin, while unfilled options retain the natural voids.
