If you’re looking for designer-renowned, high-quality travertine stone, look no further than ArchiPro. A limestone variant of natural stone tiles, travertine is a popular option for many home builders in Australia because of its sophisticated, simple appearance and options for dynamic indoor or outdoor installation. Their carefully-curated selection includes tumbled, honed and polished finishes, and tiles with fleuri or vein cuts. Whatever the needs of your home, every grade and finish of travertine tiles are right at your fingertips.
Fleuri cut
Fleuri cut travertine is cross-cut parallel to the bedding plane, resulting in a circular pattern. This cut is ideal for a softer, rustic appeal.
Vein cut
This cut requires slicing through the bedding plane, distinguished by a hallmark linear pattern. Vein cut travertine has a clean look that suits modern homes.
Tumbled finish
When travertine is tumbled in water with abrasive material, it produces a rough, uneven finish. This adds unique textural elements to indoor or outdoor spaces.
Polished finish
A polished finish is exactly how it sounds: glossy, smooth and high-shine. Unlike textural travertine, a polished finish creates a uniform surface.
Honed finish
If you’re after a finish somewhere between polished and tumbled, honed travertine is your key. The honing process results in a textural yet simplistic look.
The advantages of high quality travertine
The quality of travertine stone tiles is determined by their grade and fill. While lower-grade travertine stone requires a high amount of filler, high quality variants have minimal filler content, and are uniformly cut without any imperfections. Only high-quality travertine will deliver the sturdiness and impressive architectural appeal you’re after, which is why you should only rely on authenticated suppliers in Australia. Anything with too much filler will leave unsightly resin-filled pores. Meanwhile, if the cut and corners are not neat and uniform, they will not fit a space nicely.
How to choose travertine that’s right for you
The finish of your travertine depends on the space it is to be installed in. Tumbled and honed finishes are particularly useful in wet areas, such as showers, tubs, spas and swimming pools, as their texture provides an anti-slip quality. Polished travertine looks incredible as splashbacks and countertops. Although a range of colours is available in Australia, silver travertine is particularly popular because of its luxurious and modern charm. If your home needs a touch of eye-catching colour, red, brown and golden travertine stones are available.
