Introducing our newest range of co-ordinating indoor and outdoor porcelain tiles - Travertino. The perfect fusion of timeless elegance and modern durability. Inspired by the natural beauty of travertine, these porcelain floor tiles capture the rich textures and warm hues of the classic stone while offering the benefits of low maintenance and high-performance porcelain.
The Look of Travertine Without the Hassle
Travertine is a natural stone similar to limestone, and while that natural look is highly sought after, it also requires a fair amount of maintenance. Natural travertine is filled with small holes that likely need to be filled and refilled over time, and can show wear - especially when used on floors in areas of the home with high traffic such as a kitchen.
Because travertine is very porous it is very susceptible to staining and scratching and therefore requires sealing upon first installation, and regular sealing over time. You may also need to use specialist cleaning products to avoid damaging the stone. Travertine is particularly sensitive to acids as it is made of calcium carbonates, so sealing it is important.
If the sound of all this maintenance is putting you off using travertine in your home, consider using a travertine-effect porcelain tile. Porcelain is low maintenance - with no sealing required. The tiles are resistant to frost, scratches, staining and mould. They are also extremely durable, making them an excellent option for those who want the look of travertine without the constant upkeep.
Versatility for Indoors and Outdoors
Travertine can be used both inside and outdoors, however as mentioned above it does stain easily and requires regular sealing. Our Travertino range of porcelain tiles features both an internal tile and a thicker external tile so you can create an almost seamless flow between the spaces. Or you can use them independently anywhere in your home.
The outdoor tiles also have enhanced slip resistance, so there's no need to worry about slippery patios in wet weather. Natural stone effect tiles are a great choice for a range of interior and exterior styles, from rustic country homes to modern extensions.
Travertino is a large format tile, measuring 120cm by 60cm, which makes it ideal for larger spaces. The rectified edges mean you can install the tiles with neat and narrow grout joints, adding to the seamless look.
We think the Travertino range is ideal for a range of indoor and outdor projects, but don't take our word for it! You can order a free sample of both the indoor and outdoor tiles online sent direct to your door.
