Travertine Tiles In Your Bathroom?

Are you building a home or does your bathroom need a make over

? You might consider using travertine in your bathroom. This sedimentary rock is found in ground and surface waters. Travertine is naturally gorgeous with a variety of patterns and colors. It works very well in bathrooms, kitchens, floors, fireplace mantels and backsplashes. Since it is a durable stone it has become extremely popular for bathrooms.

Travertine is a porous stone so some believe that it is not appropriate for the bathroom. However, this is not really true. Think about it. It essentially comes from the water. If you do use travertine in the bathroom you should consider a tumbled or hone finish. It looks great and can stand up to spills.

With a travertine shower, you should have the tile properly sealed with the correct sealer for the job. Since travertine is porous, it can take in water, which a sealer will prevent. To be certain that the tile is installed properly and that sealer is correctly applied, it would be best to have it done by a professional.

Travertine is a great tile to worth with because it is versatile. There are plenty of colors, vein patterns and finishes to create any kind of travertine bathroom that you can envision. Are you thinking of a lighter shade? You can do that as well as dark, in the middle, reddish/rust or several other color schemes. They great thing about this tile is that it can have an elegant and rich feel or if done properly it can also feel very relaxed. Many people decide to use travertine through out the entire bathroom but you could match it up with other types of stones if you desire.

A travertine bathroom will also be easy to maintain. It will not show soap scum or water spotting as other tiles might, making it a great choice for the bathroom for that reason alone. You can easily wipe it down when needed and be assured that your tile will always have that beautiful, vibrant look that it had when first installed.

Turning your ho hum, ordinary bathroom into a travertine bathroom that has pizazz will definitely increase the value of your home. It is a gorgeous stone and is durable enough to last for decades.
