As a naturally formed stone with centuries of use in architecture, travertine brings both character and sophistication to interiors and exteriors alike. Its warm hues—ranging from creams and golds to soft earth tones—and unique veining make each slab a one-of-a-kind work of art. At Texas Counter Fitters, we offer premium, high-grade travertine ideal for flooring, kitchen countertops, wall cladding, outdoor patios, pool decks, and fireplaces. Whether used indoors or out, travertine’s natural elegance enhances any space with a timeless, organic beauty.
Performance & Care: What to Expect
Because travertine is a porous sedimentary stone, it requires regular sealing and care to maintain its beauty. When properly sealed, it resists stains and moisture, but it is more vulnerable than denser stones like granite. Use pH-neutral cleaners, wipe up spills promptly—especially acidic substances—and reapply sealant as recommended to preserve the surface. With proper maintenance, travertine can last for decades while aging gracefully.
Durability and longevity. Travertine’s dense, compact structure – formed from the slow deposition of minerals – can withstand heavy foot traffic, extreme weather conditions and the test of time.
Natural beauty. Delicate veining and a distinctive pattern of subtle earthy tones create an elegant look; additionally, it is available in a wide range of finishes, including polished, honed, brushed and tumbled.
Heat resistant. Travertine remains cool to the touch, providing a comfortable surface for walking or lounging.
Slip resistant. Use in areas that tend to have moisture, such as bathrooms, showers, and poolside.
Eco-friendly. A renewable resource that is harvested sustainably, travertine helps reduce the carbon footprint.
Travertine’s versatility lends itself to many applications: kitchen and bathroom countertops, backsplashes, shower walls, floor tile, indoor accent walls, fireplace surrounds, and more. Its soft tones pair beautifully with both contemporary and traditional styles, and the natural variations in each slab allow designers to play with contrast, texture, and pattern. Whether you want a honed, tumbled, or polished finish, our team can help you select the ideal travertine look for your vision.
