How durable is travertine floor tile?

Travertine floor tiles are known for being hard wearing and durable. However, natural travertine is extremely porous and therefore prone to staining, making travertine effect porcelain tiles an excellent alternative.

Although natural travertine tiles are strong and long lasting, they can be expensive and require a lot of care and maintenance. Another downside is that they don’t retain heat as well as other materials. Our selection of travertine effect floor tiles are made from glazed ceramic, which not only stay warmer, but are a more affordable option if you want the stunning look of natural stone.

Is Travertine a good choice for kitchen floors?

Due to the porous nature of natural travertine floor tiles, they may not be the best choice for any area of the home that may regularly get wet, unless you are prepared to undertake a lot of maintenance. However, our collection of porcelain and ceramic travertine effect floor tiles are an easy to care for alternative.
