Travertine

Travertine natural stone tiles feature primarily rustic colors reminiscent of the earth. Usually adorned with small pores across its surface and fibrous details, their versatility allows them to be used for a variety of purposes. Travertine is a material that stands the test of time, as evidenced by its aged and robust characteristics.

How is Travertine Different From Marble?

Though both marble and travertine originate from limestone, they are extremely different. Marble forms when limestone is subjected to high temperature and pressure, while travertine develops from limestone rocks found around freshwater hot springs and caves under similar conditions.

Both marble and travertine are hard stones that can withstand physical wear, but travertine is more durable, especially for countertops. Marble is denser and more robust, making it suitable for commercial projects, but the impressive durability of travertine makes it a popular choice for surfaces that experience heavy use.
