Travertine is a well-known stone product to be used in the home, as well as in the garden or yard. It is a type of tile made from a sedimentary rock named travertine. There are many sources of travertine in the world. One of the most well-known is Tivoli, Italy and the rock is named after the Latin name of this Italian city. Travertine is also excavated in Mexico and Eastern Europe.

This classic Roman stone has been used in buildings and flooring for several thousands of years. For example, the Coliseum in Rome is made practically entirely of travertine and not of marble, as most people think. Travertine is a sedimentary rock that was formed by the evaporation of water in ponds of hot springs. With the evaporation of water, layers of minerals were left behind and these minerals give wonderful tones to the stone. Several colors can be discovered in each tile depending on the accumulation of various minerals during the development process.

The travertine tiles are a good investment that adds value to the home and are an excellent exhibit. Their natural and stylish beauty makes it look good anywhere in the house. Being a flexible material, you can create interesting designs that will fit well in the entire sketch of your apartment, depending on how you wish to install them.
