Travertine

Travertine is a captivating natural stone known for its warm, earthy tones and distinctive texture. Characterised by its vibrant textures, beautiful veining and a unique patina that reveals new details with every use, our travertine ranges from creamy beige to golden honey hues. This beautiful stone has been used for centuries in iconic architectural marvels, including the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica and the Trevi fountain, and continues to be a popular choice in contemporary design.

At Riluxa, we appreciate travertine not just for its beauty, but also for its remarkable durability. Correctly maintained, this versatile natural stone is ideal for a variety of applications, including wall coverings, flooring and elegant bathroom fixtures like basins and bathtubs. To ensure our travertine products are perfectly suited for bathroom use, we apply a delicate filler and a protective surface sealant that preserves their natural texture while boosting their functionality.

With its captivating character and historical significance, travertine enriches any space, bringing timeless elegance to your home.

Choosing the Right Finishes for Travertine

Once you’ve settled on travertine for your bathroom, we can offer a range of finishes.

Polished
Leathered

A polished travertine surface offers a smooth, high-gloss finish that reflects light beautifully, adding a touch of luxury to any space. This finish creates a lighter appearance in the stone, perfect for more formal or contemporary spaces. As the smoothest and least porous finish, it provides extra resistance to staining and moisture. Polished travertine also tends to show fewer fingerprints and smudges, maintaining a clean, lustrous look with minimal upkeep.

A leathered travertine finish strikes the perfect balance between matte and semi-gloss, with a soft, tactile surface that enhances both warmth and texture. Produced by running diamond-tipped brushes over honed stone, this finish subtly highlights the stone’s veins and natural imperfections, adding depth and character without compromising its raw beauty. Its distinctive texture accentuates the rich, earthy tones of travertine, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a cozy, organic ambiance in their bathroom. Perfect for creating spaces with a natural, yet refined touch.

A pressurised flow of sand and water creates an aged, matte finish. The natural colour and pattern of the stone is subtly softened, with the surface displaying a uniform texture of light dots and grooves.

A common decorative technique used with Travertine marble is that of book-matching. This is where a single block of marble is cut into two or more slabs, each being polished. We then place the slabs end to end, so that their veining creates a mirror image, continuing from one slab to the next in a continuous flow.

All varieties of onyx marble have translucent portions in each slab. By experimenting with the finish and the lighting source, it’s possible to achieve breathtaking backlit onyx effects.

Several other specialised textured finishes are available for many of our natural stone products.
