Natural Stone Collection
Quiet texture. Lasting character.
Travertine introduces a warm, layered material character to interiors. Natural Stone Collection’s travertine slabs and tiles offer a starting point for spaces built around natural texture.
Look at texture as well as tone
The way travertine is cut and finished affects its appearance. Discuss whether the design calls for a more directional pattern or a softer arrangement, and inspect the actual material available. A layout can feel calm even when individual pieces show natural differences.
Specify the finished surface
Discuss the finish and whether the surface is filled, together with the intended use and maintenance expectations. Flooring, bathroom areas and decorative walls need different considerations. The supplied material should be assessed for the actual application before the order is finalised.
Coordinate the room’s palette
Warm travertine tones can work with oak, walnut and simple painted cabinetry. Bring samples together under the room’s lighting and look at the joins between different materials. Grout colour and joint arrangement are visible parts of the final design.
Plan quantity and installation
Room drawings and the chosen tile or slab sizes help establish quantities and cutting requirements. Allowances should follow the actual layout, selection and site conditions. Ask the stone team to confirm the preparation and installation scope rather than using a universal waste percentage.
A few useful questions
Should travertine pieces be blended during layout?
Discuss the appearance of the selected batch and the proposed arrangement. Reviewing a representative layout can help establish the intended balance of tones.
Can I use any travertine finish in a wet area?
Suitability should be checked for the exact material, finish and conditions. Ask for the appropriate specification for your intended application.
