5 Reasons Why French Pattern Travertine Is the Ideal Choice for Your Home
Posted by Stone-Mart on December 3rd, 2015
There are many flooring options available for your home. Wood and ceramic tiles are among those that may seem attractive, but if you are aiming for an upscale and lavish look, you can never go wrong with natural stone like travertine. The tiles come in various finishes with one-of-a-kind designs. French pattern travertine is among the ideal choices for home applications, whether indoor or outdoor. Here are five reasons why you should consider it:
1. For indoor and outdoor applications – French pattern travertine tiles break the monotony and rigidity of the typical geometric square tile installation. The natural veining in the stone lets you create unique patterns. This way, your indoor and outdoor spaces can have an elegant and bold look that stands out. Tumbled French pattern travertine provides a slip-proof surface to make your pool deck or driveway safer. The naturals tone reflects heat, too, so the tiles and pavers may help reduce your need for air-conditioning, especially on a hot day.
2. It can be cost effective - Reputable suppliers of natural stone tiles directly import French pattern travertine tiles and pavers from quarries in Turkey and some places in Asia and Europe. This way, you can purchase travertine tiles or pavers more cost effectively than when you buy them from a conventional retailer. Premium suppliers offer these in bundles, where each bundle is a set of pavers or tiles that make up a single set of French pattern. There are suppliers that can send you free samples, too, so you know exactly what the tiles or pavers look and feel.
3. Easier to install – You can save time and money installing tiles because they work with the ‘thin set’ method. This installation method contributes to a more refined and detailed appearance to elevate any indoor space. French pattern pavers are easy to install, too, and they can be used as material for your walkways, lanai, driveway, balcony, or deck.
4. Easier to fix – Travertine is easier to fix, and replacing tiles or a bundle of pavers is more cost-effective and time-saving. It is easier to find a paver or a tile that matches your existing ones, unlike when you have to replace a broken porcelain tile.
5. Travertine is durable – French pattern travertine is a limestone and it will last for generations with proper care and maintenance. Hence, you can count on the French pattern travertine tiles and pavers to increase the value of your home in the long run.
