Travertine (Versaille pattern)

Travertine

We carry a variety of travertines in different colors, styles, and sizes. Many of our travertines also have matching decorative accents.Most of the travertine in Texas comes from Mexico, but we also carry Italian and Turkish travertine. (Turkish travertine is generally less expensive than Italian and Mexican travertine.) Travertine comes in many sizes from .5″ square up to 18″ square. You can get any size you want or mix your sizes. We even carry some travertine which you can purchase pre-packaged in the Versaille pattern as shown to the right.

Travertine is a natural stone and can vary greatly in color and pattern. When choosing your travertine, we help you look at several samples to be sure you will be satisfied. To help you see how beautiful and varied travertine can look, we have put some sample photos on this page. Please remember that these are only photos and may not exactly represent the actual color of the stone. We have many more samples in our store and would like the chance to help you.

Travertine is a beautiful and popular natural stone characterized by unique variations in color and veining along with irregular surfaces and edges. It has been used by builders and artists in Italy for centuries because of its natural properties and beauty.

Travertine is cut into squares so that it can be layed easily on a floor. During this cutting and honing process, companies can create a few different types of travertine for you. The type you choose depends on the look you want for your floor.  If you want a rough, aged look you might consider unfilled and tumbled travertine. Or you may choose a honed, filled travertine to create a smoother surface.

As with any natural stone, you should care for your travertine properly and seal it shortly after installtion to prevent staining. For example, a glass of water on unsealed travertine will leave a water ring in the travertine. We carry a great line of natural stone care products manufactured by StoneTech Professional.
