Travertine Tile

Travertine stone is technically a limestone but most people consider it as a form of marble.

Travertine tiles are composed of a dense form of calcium carbonate.

The Romans first used travertine tile as a building material.

Travertine tile varies in colour from a pale to dark cream.

Many people are attracted to travertine tile because of its trademark surface variegation.

The appearance of travertine tile varies according to how the material is cut at the quarry which can suit both rustic and contemporary applications.

The voids visible in travertine tile were caused by gases present when the rock was in the molten state.

The voids in the travertine tile can be left unfilled or filled with grout.
