Mainly travertine comes with a tumbled finish giving it a natural rustic appearance. The splendid light creamy and caramel colours make it an ideal match for both indoor and outdoor tile flooring for a luxury look. We strongly recommend using standard grade in ALL external tiling applications due to its higher non slip rating than the premium grade ( recommended for internal tiling applications)
