Travertine Tile Source

Travertine, a solid and durable natural stone found in large blocks in the earth, is commonly used in more luxurious homes today. Tumbled travertine tile is a particular piece which has been cut and then, literally, tumbled within a mix of sand, gravel, bearings or pebbles to obtain a rustic or casually worn surface finish. Tumbled travertine tile is easy to use and gives any room an aged, rustic appeal thus making it a popular choice for those who wish a more casual influence yet elegant style in their home.

Available in many neutral colors, this tile is useful in the application of any room or surface. As a flooring option, it makes a durable and long lasting surface option. The cleaning of tumbled travertine flooring consists of simple sweeping and lightly damp mopping. Easy care, low maintenance, and timeless appeal make this a wise choice in durable and attractive flooring selections.

For use as a countertop in the kitchen or bath, tumbled travertine defines your room to a timeless appeal. In colors such as beige, milky white, rusty tan and light gold, decorating your kitchen or bath with this durable and wonderfully textured tile affords whichever room you choose a simple and understated hint of old world grace. As applied to the surface of your kitchen countertops, these tiles may be chosen either beveled or straight cut depending upon your taste. Bull noses made of this stone add a finished touch the many edges and curves of your countertop surface.

As a backsplash in either the kitchen or the bath, this type of tile may be applied and then mixed to accent or highlight a particular area such as behind the stove top or along the top edge of an existing countertop. Using varied colors and patterns of tumbled travertine tile blended within one area, a mildly dramatic style reminiscent of European old world grace and charm can be created and achieved simply and easily.

If used naturally or unsealed this is a wonderful choice for use outdoors as a patio paver or around the family pool. Being a naturally porous product when not finished per preference, tumbled travertine tile offers the user a non-skid surface for use in areas where unshielded water or rain may be consistently prevalent. As it is not a heat retaining product, its use for outdoor application in areas where the sun is consistent makes it ideal for use in playground or other areas where children may require a more user friendly and casual play space.

Tumbled travertine tile offers a versatile, easy to use and durable surface to any home.
