| TRAVERTINE - BEAUTIFUL BEIGE |
|
Stone
Connection Australia’s travertine will forever change your perception
of what beige can do. The subtle tones, soft irregular patterns and
gentle feel are all the great design features of the stone. Travertine
is formed through the erosion of limestone deposits by underground
rivers, geysers and streams giving the stone its distinctive, smooth yet
porous surface. We hand-select our stone from some of the most notable
travertine producing quarries and factories in the world, which ensures
that we only offer the most desirable colours and finishes for the
Australian market
For
a modern and visually stunning finish for both inside and out,
travertine pavers, travertine slabs, travertine pool copings and stair
treads can be selected. Stone Connection Australia offers one of the
largest selections of high quality travertine tiles and travertine stone
flooring, countertop and paver products with prices and sizes to suit
any budget and any design you have in mind. Our standard colours are
classico (beige), ivory (light), noce (dark brown) and silver. Other
travertine colours also include; rosso (red), scabbis (yellow/ red),
walnut (light brown) and Italian Silver.

With
travertine, there are many different finishes as well. The two main
ones are filled and un-filled. Filled is just when the holes have been
grouted by the factory. There are many types of fills used. Cement based
is the most common. It is as durable as any other and easy to fix.
Epoxy fill is when a clear base is used in the holes. Although epoxy is
very attractive and seems better due to high cost, it is not practical
for all applications. If used outside, UV will colour change. Epoxy is
also only proper if used in vein-cut travertine. This is because the
holes are short and deep on vein-cut vs. Cross-cut where the holes are
long and shallow. Other products are mastic. If un-happy with the
factory fill, un-filled is the way to go. Use your own colour selection
on grout for a perfect finish.
When
selecting Travertine, the process can be very daunting. When making a
decision the most important factor is whether or not the aesthetics meet
your desired look and the material is of proper calibration for
installation. The main difference between different countries is the
colours available. Roman Classico, Turkish Classico and Classico from
Iran can all have very different appearances, while at the same time
very similar. Turkish silver is very different from Italian Silver
travertine. With our stock we source for consistency in both colour and
calibration. Each quarry has different looks and each factory different
quality control. If a product is not calibrated properly, then the
savings is not significant.
