TRAVERTINE TILES

Travertine is one of the most frequently used stones seen today in modern architecture because of both its Timeless Beauty and Durability. Travertine is derived from limestone that has been heated and then pushed through the earth's crust by hydraulic pressure (water). Travertine is a sedimentary stone, a solid form of calcium carbonate produced in hot mineral springs.
Travertine is ideal for indoor and outdoor applications. The surface of Travertine is heat resistant; this is due to the lack of metal content in the stone. Travertine has a natural non-slip surface and twice the strength of many artificial alternatives. This makes Travertine a excellent choice for pool surrounds, kitchen and bathroom floors, bench tops, wall cladding, patio and balcony flooring and driveways.
Travertine is used around swimming pools, outdoor entertainment and indoor wet areas as it will remain cool under foot has a high co-efficient of friction meaning that Travertine will provide a safe walking and recreational area. Travertine has a high natural salt resistance allowing it to be used inside your swimming pool as well as for coping and pool surrounds.
