Why travertine floor tiles are a great choice for your home
Another natural stone that has been used since ancient times, travertine marble continues to be used in the present for a variety of applications, and is characterized by irregular holes on the surface. Travertine floor tiles have been used in flooring, countertops, backsplashes, patios, and gardens.
Travertine is a cousin of marble
travertine can be described as falling between marble and limestone, possessing both stones' versatility and beauty such as the varied colors and venations, and old-world appeal. It is a very durable material and very versatile too. The varied colors of travertine depend on the iron content of the stone from which it is cut. The resulting colors may range from a very light ivory, going darker and deeper to a reddish brown, and sometimes even gold.
Travertine as varied as marble
Travertine, like marble, is available in a number of finishes, colors, and vein patterns to give you a wide array of design options that will fit your needs. Polished travertine resembles marble in appearance and is shiny and very smooth. Honed tiles are smooth as well, but they have more of a matte finish. There are also brushed and tumbled varieties of travertine marble, which are more textured.
Keeping it pristine
While a hard and durable material, travertine tiles are not quite like granite or marble when it comes to wear. It is a porous material, so spills must be cleaned off immediately after they happen. Also avoid using vinegar or any citric acid-based cleaners because they may erode the surface of your travertine floor. Staining can be avoided on your travertine marble floor by applying a sealant to protect it from water and other substances that could possibly stain it. The more sealant on the travertine marble, the less likely for it to stain.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with，never say a word，and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
