Honed Travertine has an even and smoothened surface with a matte appearance. This finish lends a soft look and good footing to the stone. The term ‘honed’ is synonymous with polished minus the shine.

Yes, Travertine pool copings are available with us. Feel free to contact one of our representatives to know more about Travertine pool coping prices and availability.

Stone Depot offers three types of Travertine pool copings in the market. We offer normal tumbled, bullnose, drop edge and drop face pool coping in Travertine.

Suppliers generally supply a joint drop face/drop edge which is not advisable for use around pools. Stone Depot offers a drop face/drop edge in a single cut piece. Our drop face retains the durability and strength that Travertine offers as a stone.

Unlike other natural stones, Travertine remains cool. It absorbs coolness from the ground beneath that keeps the stone cool even under direct sunlight. You can also walk on it barefoot non hesitantly. Also, the Unfilled and Tumbled variety of Travertine pavers have a rugged surface. They offer a good grip, making Travertine suitable for outdoor or pool paving.

Being a natural stone, Travertine is highly porous and will absorb water if not sealed.

Sealant applied on Travertine helps retain its natural colour. It also prevents the stone from fading under the sun to a great extent. Hence, we highly recommend sealing Travertine.

Travertine does not get too hot, even in a warm climate or when the tile or paver is directly under the sun. This happens because it absorbs the coolness of Earth beneath instead of the sun’s heat. Hence it remains cool in all seasons.

Travertine comes with natural pores on the surface. These pores let the heat transfer but don’t hold the heat; this permits the stone to stay cool to touch. Numerous Travertine choices come with pores filled with a concrete-based filler before finishing. These fillers ultimately are removed later, depending on the usage and traffic.

In case you want a material that gives a good grip, choose unfilled Travertine. The open pores offer a good footing and are safe to step on. If you need Travertine tiles for indoor flooring, go for filled and honed or polished Travertine. The smoothened surfaces are suitable for indoor setups without letting dust or debris accumulate within the stone.

Honed Travertine tiles mean they are polished but lack that shine. Though unfilled and tumbled Travertine provides a better grip, honed ones are not very slippery either. This is why they are suitable for indoor usage.

Pool copings are borders of pools that give a safe surface to swimmers while entering or exiting the pool. Travertine pool copings offer great aesthetics to pool areas besides concealing the underlying steel rods. Copings also prevent water from splashing out of the pool shell. Travertine pool copings look attractive also offer a better grip that prevents falls.

No, not really. Since Travertine is a natural stone, no two pieces are the same. They always have some differences in colour patterns or textures. This happens because of natural mineral deposits that happen randomly in each stone slab, implying there will be naturally occurring differences in each stone. The same is bound to happen with Travertine pavers as well.

Unfilled Travertine comes with natural pores which offer a good grip. However, sealing the stones is a must to protect them from dust accumulation and moisture damage. The unfilled version of Travertine pool copings and Travertine pool pavers too need to be sealed. In fact, all Travertine floor tiles, and Travertine pavers need a layer of sealant. But sealing does not affect any other property. The stone retains its natural attribute.

Travertine pool pavers are very durable and do not break or crack so easily, that is if no external force is being used. They stand up well to foot traffic and extreme temperatures. However, there are chances they crack when struck forcefully by something heavy. Handle Travertine Pavers with care, and they remain intact for a long time.

Travertine pool copings can last a lifetime if you maintain them well. The first step is to seal them so that they don’t get damaged by moisture or dust accumulation. Secondly, install them properly and seal them periodically. These steps would make Travertine pool copings last long.

Stone Depot has crazy pavers in Limestone, Bluestone, and Sandstone. We are yet to include Travertine Crazy Paving in our product selection.

Bluestone is known for its endurance and resilience. Though Travertine pool pavers measure 30mm in thickness and are quite durable, Bluestone pavers rank higher in this aspect. Both the stones have special properties, unique to each. Unless something heavy strikes Travertine pool pavers, they remain intact.

Travertine is one of the hardest natural stones that last many years if installed and maintained well. Travertine tiles are robust and dense. They retain their shine and solidity even in the harshest weather conditions or physical wear & tear.

Travertine is one of the best stones you can choose over concrete or other flooring materials. One main reason is that Travertine tiles are 20%-30% cooler than their counterparts. Simple logic is the fact that Travertine absorbs the coolness from the Earth beneath. Especially in outdoor setups, Travertine tiles prove to be cool where you can walk bare feet. Besides this, they are easy to install and don't require lengthy installation time. To top it all, they are strong and durable. Travertine flooring material also comes in a variety of colours and textures which can create a beautifully unique appearance on your property.

No particular colour scheme goes with different types of project applications. It is entirely your choice to pick the hue that matches your need.

We supply premium quality Travertine tiles and pavers at the most competitive pricing in the market. If you choose to install them yourself, it would involve the cost of materials for installation like grout, adhesives, and others. If you opt for a professional tiler or landscaper, you can additionally incur their service charge for installation along with earlier expenses mentioned.

Travertine Tiles are highly recommended for use around pool areas. Besides great aesthetics and appeal, here are the functional benefits of using Travertine Tiles in pool decks or pool surrounds:

• Travertine tiles provide a good grip- Unfilled Travertine Tiles are best for pool surrounds and pool decks. They have naturally unfilled holes that offer a good grip. The holes allow Travertine to hold water within the pores and make it difficult for water to form puddles. They also prevent a flood-like situation. Therefore, Travertine tiles are great for pool areas from a safety point of view.
• Travertine pools are extremely durable- Travertine is known for its high durability and ability to withstand heat or harsh weather better than other materials. The overall durability makes Travertine tiles a natural choice for pool decks.
• Low maintenance- Travertine deck tiles are low on maintenance. All you need to do is use a high-quality sealant so that the travertine pool deck remains intact for eternity.
• Ease of replacement- As stated above, Travertine Tiles are quite easy to maintain. In case they break or get damaged, the tiles can be replaced easily. Just pull out the broken tiles and replace them with a new piece. Travertine tiling is hence preferred by several households across the globe.

Travertine tiles are versatile and can be out to use in multiple ways. Due to their aesthetics and ease of maintenance, homeowners don’t shy away from using them in the kitchen. Here are three ideas to use Travertine Tiles in the kitchen area:

• Floor- If you have sealed the Travertine Tiles, water or food stains would not penetrate the stone. This makes cleaning Travertine floors easy. You have to seal the tiles regularly and clean up spills immediately to avoid stains.
• Countertops- Travertine countertops can be the centre of attraction owing to their natural colours and classy appearance. Installing countertops made of Travertine tiles is more affordable than other stones like Granite. They are also easy to maintain. All you need to do is regularly seal Travertine tiles and clean them with a soft, dry cloth to keep them intact.
• Backsplash- Kitchen spaces tend to have a mess on the walls while cooking and cleaning. Backsplashes behind the stove and sink protect walls from moisture and stains, besides adding a décor accent. It is also easy to clean tiled walls than painted walls.
Travertine Tiles perfectly fit in this category. Not only they are easy to clean but also add an ornamental element to the kitchen space effortlessly.

Travertine and marble share a lot of similarities. However, when it comes to outdoor use, Travertine tiles emerge as the better option.

Since marble tiles are dense and durable, they are preferred in commercial spaces. Travertine tiles get high preference in residential projects. Both the stones have natural pores, but Travertine, being more porous can hold water and offer a good grip. This property makes Travertine tiles perfect for outdoor applications like the patio, pool, or the alfresco. Marble being polished and smoother is more suited for indoors. In short, Travertine tiles (the unfilled version) are better for outdoor usage when compared to marble tiles.

You can easily install Travertine Pavers over existing concrete or asphalt driveways. However, the driveway should be in good condition. Inspect the existing driveway and repair if required. It ensures an adequate foundation for Travertine. Do repair cracks, chips, or holes to achieve a flat surface. This process would prevent damage to Travertine pavers in the future.

Stepping stones are irregular shaped stones that are used outside in gardens walkways and sidewalks. They should measure 30mm in thickness to endure weathering and outdoor traffic. Travertine floor tiles have a thickness of 12mm which is not suitable as stepping stones.

Travertine pavers are relatively easier to install than most other pavers. They can be mud-set or dry-set and are suitable to be laid in a range of areas. Installing Travertine pavers requires a wet saw to cut them according to the size and space for which it is needed. Cutting them is not difficult, though it takes some time to get used to it. If you’re unsure which method to use before beginning a travertine paver installation project, the dry-set process is your best bet. This method is simple to implement and works in both Southern and Northern climates. Dry setting your travertine pavers or travertine tiles also makes it easier to replace a paver if necessary. Mud-set installation is only suitable for Southern climates, is more time-consuming, and does not allow you to replace your travertine pavers easily.

Laying Travertine pavers around pools is quite simple. Excavate the area and level the soil. Uneven or non-uniform levels will only result in an irregular pattern of travertine pavers being laid. Following that, a fabrication sheet will be laid on top of the soil. Lay a fabrication sheet and add a crushed limestone base about 4 inches thick. Prepare a dry setting bed by combining dry sand and cement. There is no need to add any water. Now the mixture has been screeded, and the base has been prepared, begin laying travertine pavers on top of the prepared base. start by placing from the path’s edge to the inside. We suggest laying travertine pavers from left to right. Also, start from a faraway corner and work your way backwards. Lay the travertine pavers in a continuous line using a string, one by one.

It is advisable to seal all the natural stones with a deep penetrating sealant. Sealing should be as per the guidelines provided by the respective sealant provider.

The first time you should apply sealant on Travertine Tiles is during their installation. Afterward, Travertine Tiles should be sealed periodically, depending on their usage and cleaning frequency. The regularity of sealing can vary between one to three years. Of course, you would apply a sealant as soon you detect damages or change in colour of Travertine. On a clean surface, free of dirt or debris), apply sealant with a brush, cloth pad, or sprayer. Allow a minimum of thirty minutes between the application of two coats. After the final coat, wait for at least four hours for the sealant to dry up. If the tile does not absorb the sealer within five minutes of application, wipe it off. To test if Travertine tiles have absorbed the sealant, put a few drops of water. If the droplets remain unabsorbed by the tiles and you notice no colour change, then the sealer has been applied successfully.

Generally, tilers or installers recommend two layers of sealer. Coating Travertine with sealant ensures the stone becomes stain-free and gets a longer shelf life.

A sealer ensures that Travertine retains its colour and prevents fading.

An enhancing sealer would darken the stone, otherwise not. You should always do a sample test on one area of the tile or paver to see if it darkens or not.

We recommend you reseal your Travertine tile or paver every 2-3 years to protect it from damage and make them look fresh.

Even after the honing process on the Travertine tile or Travertine paver, there would still be natural holes or pores left on the surface. These should be filled with grouting material during the grouting process to help in stabilizing the stone. Grouting also gives a distinctive characteristic look and finish to Travertine.

Grouting Travertine is quite simple. Grout is available in a variety of materials. Mixing the grout is followed by sweeping in on joints. However, you must test on a small area before finishing the job. The type of brush and tools you use also impact the success of grouting. The process remains the same for almost all stones, with a few exceptions.

We would recommend using a neutral colour grout for using on Travertine. Your tiler or landscaper will be the right person to suggest the grouting material, keeping in mind the final design and appearance you are trying to achieve.

The grout sealer would make it one or two shades darker but it won't change the colour of the grout.

Although you can use your Travertine floor two to three hours after sealing, you must wait for at least twenty-four hours. It allows sufficient time to cure the surface. We recommend you wait for a minimum of twelve hours.

An alkaline grout cleaner shall do the job fine. We recommend you avoid any acid-based cleaner as it will etch your Travertine stone. Discuss with your professional tiler or landscaper about the grout cleaned and the type of cleaner to be used for cleaning zero grout lines.

On the contrary, Travertine pavers are easier to maintain when compared to Granite or Marble. No expensive cleaners or maintenance products are required. Warm water and soap along with dry mopping are enough for Travertine pavers' maintenance.

Since Travertine is a natural stone, it has pores and natural voids. These should be treated with the process of grouting and sealing. Due to the stone's porosity, Travertine is vulnerable to stains. However, sealing would minimize the risk to a great extent.

We recommend sealing Travertine before installation to reduce the risk for stains. But in case coffee or a drink spills over, use a sponge or soft cloth to clean the stain.

With time Travertine might start looking dull with an accumulation of dust and dirt. If Travertine tiles are sealed, the chances of them getting dirty reduces. It is easy to clean Travertine Tiles. Just sweep or mop the tiles regularly to keep dust particles away.

The best way to clean Travertine is with a hot water sponge and stone cleaner. Do not use vinegar, ammonia, lemon, or orange to clean Travertine.

You should clean your Travertine pool deck atleast once a year to maintain its life. Use clean water and if there is a hard layer of dirt over it, you could also use water spray. The other way to clean is to use a brush with soft bristles for removing the dirt.

Restoring the Travertine stone is an easy process. Strip excessive material and dirt from the surface, clean it with a sponge or soft cloth, fill the breaks or chippings with cement-based grout, polish the surface and seal it.

Travertine Pavers are acid-sensitive. Strong chemicals may cause permanent damage to Travertine. Just mop the floor regularly to avoid dust build-up. Immediately clean liquid spills before they stain the stone. Warm soapy water is more than enough to get rid of stains. If soapy water does not clean the stains, try this alternative method: Combine equal parts of baking soda and water with mild detergent to form a thick paste. Cover the stains with this paste and let it sit for half an hour. This process should be helpful to remove the stains from Travertine pavers.

Please avoid acidic cleaners like bleach, ammonia, or vinegar, as they can damage the surface. Also, avoid cleaners with abrasive nature. Try using a soft cloth/broom or dry mop for frequent cleaning.

Typically, bleach is a quick solution to clean surfaces. However, we do not recommend using bleach on Travertine as it is a porous stone. Bleach is a harsh chemical that erodes and damages Travertine tiles and pavers eventually. Use a mild and effective cleaning agent and check with your tiler or retailer about the type of bleach.

The best way to maintain the Travertine floor is to use a dry mop to remove the dirt accumulated on the surface. Just use a soft mop with warm water to clean the floors. We recommend Travertine-specific floor cleaner in case of harsh stains.

1/4″ spacing between Travertine tiles is the minimal space recommended. It would look natural and minimal as per your requirement.

A Travertine tile or paver can be polished after being sealed. The gloss or sheen can be increased but if you are concerned about the integrity of the sealer, simply re-seal it. It will help you to prep your Travertine floor to minimize the impact of a spill or stain.

Weed-growth is less likely in properly installed Travertine tiles or Travertine pavers. You need to ensure a tightly packed sand bed for the foundation of the pavers. Add more polymeric sand to keep the pavers in place and prevent weed formation. However, weed growth is inevitable in case the area does not receive ample natural light or is in a humid place. You can sprinkle baking soda in the cracks or grout joints to kill the existing weed and prevent new growth.

White vinegar is safe to use on Travertine pavers. It does not discolour or damage the stone. Just fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spray the solution between the joints. Let vinegar reach into the sand. After a few hours rinse away the vinegar with a garden hose. Generally, this process does not harm the surrounding plants nor cause fading of pavers. However, it is advisable to conduct a patch test beforehand.

Travertine is a sedimentary stone. During its formation, freshwater keeps running over it, resulting in holes. You can fill these holes with cement-based grouting material. The grout would eventually get removed due to wear & tear and traffic. You could reseal the stone if you find the original filler has worn through.

Waxing Travertine floors is not a good idea, especially in the unfilled version. Use a special polish meant for Travertine if the glossy shine of Travertine has faded. You can buff Travertine to make it shiny. However, use a very soft cloth.

Freshwater keeps running in places where Travertine is formed. This process creates holes on the surface of the stone. You can fill these holes with grouting material during installation. You can also buy factory-filled Travertine which is generally for inside use.

Consider your Travertine as Swiss cheese as it has holes throughout. These holes are called “Vug”, “Vugg” or “Vugh” which differs in the mineral composition from the Travertine itself, composed mainly of calcium carbonate.

Travertine in Turkey is available in abundance, and the production capacity is massive that can fulfill any quantity of the order. In addition, the pricing is reasonable that the counterparts without compromising on the quality. Turkish Travertine has high durability and can withstand extreme weather conditions like direct sunlight or cold.

The answer in simple terms would be a “Yes” provided you opt for a 30mm thick option and it is installed properly.

The industry standard dictates that you should consider 10% wastage while ordering a natural stone.

Yes. With sufficient lead time, we can arrange any customized size in Travertine.

Yes, it is safe to use steam mop on Travertine flooring.

Outdoor Travertine Tiles are susceptible to moisture damage or staining if not sealed. It is advisable to seal them once or twice annually, depending on the exposure to traffic and weather extremities.

It is advisable to use warm water to clean Travertine pavers and tiles. Warm water is sufficient to cut through the soil and dirt layer accumulated on the surface. Pouring hot water directly on Travertine may lead to damage to the sealant and subsequently the stone’s colour. Maintain your Travertine pavers regularly to avoid this situation.

Travertine pavers can crack for several underlying reasons. One of them could be loose tiles that are susceptible to cracking. In case there are voids or gaps under the stone that aren’t providing enough provide, it could lead to cracking. If Travertine is installed on concrete, there are possibilities for cracks in the slab that travel to the stone. Heavy impact is also among the reasons why Travertine Pavers crack.

Often stain solutions are the reason for Travertine pavers darkening over time. However, the stains remain confined on the surface only and don’t always penetrate through the ston

It is advisable not to. DIY projects often prompt you the usage of vinegar, vacuum cleaning, and other green alternatives. Rather call professionals to deep clean Travertine pavers. Regular maintenance will not lead to the situation of deep cleaning the pavers.

Travertine is a type of sedimentary rock formed in hot springs and caves. During their formation, water movements from springs erode the stone and create holes or crevices on the surface. Unfilled Travertine pavers have surface pores that promote traction even when wet. It’s also extremely powerful. As a result, unfilled Travertine is ideal for pathways and patio pavers. Because unfilled Travertine pavers or tiles are valuable, many people use them in landscaping. It has a distinct yet classic appearance. When a stone is filled, the factory fills it with a polyester “fill” and seals any large holes in the travertine pavers or tiles. Unfilled Travertine lacks the factory’s polyester fill and typically appears more rustic.

Travertine tiles or pavers come in three different qualities/grades: Commercial, Standard, and Premium. We are a strong advocate of providing value for money to our customers.

Travertine being a natural stone evokes a unique colour tone and finish to every tile and paver cut from the stone block. Due to the extraction of stone naturally, all tiles or pavers have a unique and distinctive colour tone on the surface.

Travertine is one of the most durable products and is known for its rugged finish. Travertine tiles or Travertine pavers can last for over 100 years if well cared for. Experts suggest re-sealing the product to make them look fresh and prevent them from staining or damage.

Travertine tiles are low maintenance and with a little care, the stone would last your lifespan. Proper installation and care have to be taken to make the Travertine tiles durable. This includes cleaning the surface with dry or slightly dense mop and application of penetrating sealers periodically. In case of spills, you should clean them immediately. Travertine tiles do not need to be washed regularly. Mopping once a week or once in two weeks is more than enough. Travertine can withstand freeze-thaw cycles with ease when compared to other building materials. Even in extreme weather conditions like cold or heat, you wouldn't need to worry about the stone's upkeep.

Unsealed Travertine would have a high chance of getting a stain after a wine spill on the Travertine tile surface. We would always recommend sealing the Travertine tile to make it stain-resistant. In case of a wine spill, the best would be to clean it immediately to lessen the chances of staining Travertine tiles. However, if the stains are stubborn, use warm soapy water to get rid of them. Pat the area dry after removing the stain.

Granite is the hardest substance on the planet after diamond. Hence Granite and Travertine have no match in terms of strength. Talking about durability, Travertine is tough enough to withstand daily wear and tear. It does not crack or chip easily. Its strength allows its usage in outdoor places like pool surrounds, walkways, patio, or alfresco, where it can withstand regular footfall and weather fluctuations.

We offer Travertine in Crosscut, which doesn’t always display a vein age pattern. The Crosscut variation offers more uniformity and regularity in the background. Also, the variation features a plainer background, with some darker and clouded areas. This variation is neutral and pattern-free and is suitable for pairing with other natural stones.

Travertine pavers can withstand cold weather if properly installed. A premium product quality also matters. Stone Depot's products are of the highest grade of quality, making them suitable for all kinds of climatic conditions. For mud-set Travertine pavers, flex bond adhesive is recommended, instead of cement-based mortar. This would prevent the cracking of the stone in freeze-thaw cycle.

Travertine pavers withstand temperature fluctuations and physical weathering with ease. The durable stone is the best as driveway pavers and patio pavers.

Yes, Travertine from turkey is the best for residential and commercial projects. It has more even colour tone with less variation and offers more durability.

The difference between Travertine Tiles and Travertine Pavers lies in their thickness which influences their subsequent usage. Ideally, Travertine tiles have a thickness of 12 mm, whereas Travertine pavers are 30mm or more. Tiles are typically for indoor or decor applications, while pavers imply outdoor use. Hence Travertine tiles are used in shower places, indoor flooring, walling, or backsplash. On the other hand, Travertine pavers are recommended for use in patio, balcony, alfresco, or other outdoor places.

Travertine and limestone are both sedimentary stones. They both are popular for their soft earthy tones and neutral colour variations and textures. Both have their unique places in the architectural world.

There would always be a colour variation in Travertine. This variation adds to the beauty. The only thing you could ensure is to buy a premium quality Travertine as it would have less colour variation overall.

Both the stones are made from limestone and share similar properties but are not the same. Travertine has visible holes on its surface formed from the ejection of gases and hot water during the formation process. Marble is relatively smoother and has a more polished look minus the tiny holes. Travertine has warmer shades like beige, cream, or silver-grey while Marble is found in different colours with contrasting veins running across the surface

The cost of Travertine pavers and tiles depends on their quality, size, type of finish, and availability. Unfilled Travertine, with numerous perforations on its surface, requires sealing and regular maintenance. This cost of maintenance adds to the cost of Travertine. Similarly, Travertine with fewer surface pores is less prone to damage, requires lesser maintenance, and therefore costs less. As a wholesale supplier, we offer Travertine at the best market price. Better quality commands a higher price. However, ordering bulk or wholesale quantities makes it cost-effective.
