Travertine marble tiles are a very dense form of Calcium Carbonate
and although a Limestone, Travertine is more usually considered as
a Marble. Harder than Limestone, Travertine tiles are hardwearing
and practical yet provide a timeless elegance that has to be seen
to be appreciated.
Colours vary from pale to dark cream with attractive surface varigation.
Due to its formation voids occur in the surface of the stone. These
can vary from pinholes to quite large irregular holes. Many prefer
these holes to be filled during installation when the tiles are grouted
however some tiles can be supplied pre-filled by the factory with
a colour matched resin.
Tumbled Marble, as its name implies, are tiles that are literally
tumbled together in large drums. The action of the tiles rubbing together
add a softness and character to the surface with a contoured edge
as well as enhancing the highlights and depth of colour. |
