Travertine tiles in mosaic pattern are suitable for a number of uses but particularly for both walls and floors. Most commonly used in bathrooms and wet rooms they offer a better option when a non slip surface is required or is desirable. They can be used as a wall covering or they can be simple splash backs, also suitable for kitchen walls. The sheets of mosaic travertine tiles can be a selected shade or they can be random, combining different shades and variations in surface texture adding distinct characteristic features to the wall or floor, adding extra interest.
With mosaic tiles, these can be supplied in two distinct sizes, 48×48 or 24×24, but for something which is that bit different a brick pattern is available. Individual tiles are tumbled, creating a worn pebble like appearance. The travertine tiles are naturally unfilled. When grouted in the surface is still textured, whereas marble tiles are completely smooth. This range of tiles is increasing in popularity and because the colours can be mixed, they can be used with any other Travertine product.
The success of Travertine is demonstrated by the fact that it is one of the oldest building materials that are known to man and it was used extensively by the Romans. The Colesseum in Rome is the largest building in the world which is largely constructed using Travertine. There are many other examples of use of this natural product that can be found throughout Europe and America.
