Why Travertine Floor Tiles Are An Ideal Choice?

Posted by Eric Barthelemy on May 3rd, 2018

Looking for the best floor tiles can be exciting and daunting at the same time. There seems to be an endless array of choices at different price points. And if you are exploring the luxury segment, you will likely come across travertine. Is this choice suitable for your home? Here’s everything you need to know about travertine floors—from their characteristics to their advantages.

1. They are durable.

The strength of travertine is legendary. In fact, it is one of the oldest building materials still being used today. Travertine floors are scratch-resistant, crack-resistant and even chip-resistant. You can expect them to withstand regular load and wear. With proper care, your floors will last for decades.

2. These tiles look stylish.

Travertine is considered ‘luxury flooring’ not only because it lasts forever, but also because it is naturally beautiful. It can give any room in your home an understated grandeur and elegance. This type of limestone comes in a relatively wide variety of tones including brown, red, tan, gold and gray. The Aspendos Ivory line is a great option if you want a polished finish. For a rustic feel, choose Autumn Blend. If you want a combination of pink, oak, and ivory, then the Savannah Sunset Vein tiles are worth a look. And if you need light, earth-tone flooring, the Leonardo tile is recommended.

Not sure which travertine floor tiles are the best choices for your space? Ask your supplier for recommendations. Tell them about how you use the space and what activities will be performed in that particular area of the home. For rooms that regularly get wet (such as bathrooms), your supplier may recommend tumbled or brushed finish travertine.

3. They are easy to repair.

Should you need to change a tile because of damage, you can easily re-order the same type of tile—no worries. For convenience, it’s a good idea to buy one or two spare tiles so that you always have a replacement.

Travertine floors will make your house stylish, combining the tasteful look of natural stones with a strength that will last for decades. Be sure to source your travertine tiles and pavers from reputable suppliers, of course, to get the best quality and value.
