The architectural character of travertine

Variation gives travertine its character

Pores, bands and tonal movement are part of the stone. Select by range rather than expecting every piece to match one small sample.

Cut and finish change the reading

Vein-cut and cross-cut travertine produce different movement. Honed, filled or textured finishes alter colour, grip and the visibility of pores.

Compose before installation

Dry-lay representative pieces, agree the acceptable fill and coordinate joints with architectural lines. Thoughtful composition lets natural variation feel intentional.
