Ways to Get That WOW Factor Using Travertine

Posted by Eric Barthelemy on March 15th, 2018

You can never go wrong with travertine tiles and pavers if you want to add elegance and sophistication to your property, with the assurance of a long-lasting investment that can increase the value of your home. They come in different patterns and colors, with no tile or paver looking exactly the same as another, but that adds to their beauty and capability of creating bold flooring or paving. Some types, like French pattern travertine, can further add a wow factor to any application. A set should consist of the natural stone tile or paver in four different sizes to cover approximately eight square feet of area.

Travertine tiles and pavers come in different finishes to suit various applications. For indoors, you can choose among polished, honed, brushed and chiseled, and tumbled finishes, where each can add a unique look and feel to any room. Polished tiles can make your home look lavish and grand, like those palatial homes and mega mansions. A honed and filled finish has a non-glossy surface, but not as matte as a tumbled finish. Making it ideal for applications that require the elegance and beauty of the natural stone.

Brushed and chiseled travertine will make your home look and feel like a Renaissance castle, and the tumbled finish will provide a rugged and natural look to your application, while ensuring extra grip for feet. You can get French pattern travertine in a tumbled, finish, too. Regardless of your choice, you can be sure that the tiles and pavers will provide an impressive finish to your property.

French pattern travertine is also known as the ‘Versailles pattern’ or ‘Roman pattern’. A set consists of one 16” x 24” tile or paver, two 16” x 16” tiles or pavers, a piece of 16” x 8” tile or paver, and two 8” x 8” tiles or pavers. Their manner of installation is different from the conventional style where the layout creates straight lines. This way, they break the monotony associated with conventional installations, and they are capable of creating a bolder look in any application. You can use them in most rooms in your house, including kitchens and dining rooms, as well as walkways, patios, and pool decks.
