What exactly is Travertine (in simple detail)?
Travertine is a type of limestone and also classified as a marble. This stone is dense and somewhat delicate. It is usually light and creamy or reddish in color. Characteristic holes are filled and the material takes a good polish. Application is appropriate for walls, and in bathrooms for vanities, tub and shower surrounds, as well as floor tiles. Other uses are in the area of the fireplace and tabletops. Because of travertine’s porosity, it is not recommended for kitchen use. Annual sealing with an impregnating sealer can help eliminate the occurrence of stains, whether the surface is honed or polished.
