Travertine is our favoured choice for creating a calm space, that desires natural, organic and breathable touches. Her beauty is embedded throughout her natural sources and crafted finish. From her earth-like textures to robust composition, travertine’s empowered features make her perfect as an everyday piece. Travertine is a fabulous stone option for your coffee tables, side accents & event dining tables in formal settings.
What is Travertine?
Naturally crafted from the mineral deposits in natural, hot springs, travertine’s raw features deem her a sedimentary limestone type. Her luxurious and fitted structure gives the stone a resilient aura essential for a space matching her owner. The mineral deposits deem travertine her unique and distinctive appearance of organic swirls and complexions.
Stone vs Marble
Our last journal entry described the innate beauty of marble finishes (honed vs matte). As avid devotees of both, we thought we’d break down the differences and uses of travertine vs marble. Travertine’s crafting process is naturally occurring, giving her an authentic, earth-like appearance as opposed to marble’s refined and diligent image. Her calming ambience tailors to your desires, as she happily soaks in the soft kisses from the sun.
Common Uses of Travertine
Travertine resists weather change and UV light, revealing an earth-kissed finish, complete with effortless grace. As an unpolished stone, travertine has a natural non-slip texture and nature, making her perfect as flooring, kitchens, bathrooms and showers. Her serene features make her the ideal accompaniment to your calm and meditated space.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Just like marble and granite, travertine’s naturally lavish nature requires regular TLC, in order to preserve her beauty. Our research recommends using pH neutral cleaning solutions with a soft, slightly damp wet towel and drying off the stone piece with an absorbent towel. The constant love and care you place in travertine is rewarded back to you, as your piece will continue preserving her beauty in your space.
Sustainability
Gathered from earth-giving natural resources, the mindful production of travertine allows for less harmful chemicals to be involved in her creation, in comparison to man-made stone products. Her beauty is sustained from start to finish, making her perfect as a luxurious personality in your space, as well as doing her part for the environment!
Travertine is a gorgeous stone addition to your space, whether made for statement pieces, wall cladding, countertops or backsplashes. Her versatility is just another reason to why we love travertine in our space of peace and tranquillity.
