Travertine is a natural stone with a porosity that has been created by carbonate materials in surface and ground waters and hot springs. Tumbled Travertine has all the beauty of natural Travertine but with that added extra weather beaten quality that gives it its character. Tumbled Travertine goes through a rigorous process with Travertine being placed in a tank where water and abrasives are added. This is then vibrated to produce a chipped weather look to the surface of the Travertine, creating that tumbled look. Tumbled Travertine is left unpolished and unfilled producing a Jurassic weathered look that adds the character, charm and rustic qualities that is loved by interior designers. Tumbled Travertine will become more appealing with age as wear will enhance its aged beauty and increase its individual charm.
Tumbled Travertine is widely used both inside and outside the home but due to its unfilled holes can be more vulnerable to breakage.
