Travertine is one of several natural stones that are used for paving patios and garden paths. The stone is characterized by pitted holes and troughs in its surface. Although these troughs occur naturally, they suggest signs of considerable wear and tear over time.
Travertine that we supply can be "filled" or "unfilled". It can also be polished to a smooth, shiny finish, and comes in a variety of colors from light beige to coral-red.
Travertine is a commonly use for facades, wall cladding, and flooring. The relative softness of the stone, combined with its holes and troughs, make travertine flooring difficult to finish and maintain. Aggressive grinding ¡ª sometimes called honing ¡ª can reveal previously hidden air pockets that significantly change the look of the floor.
