Choose Travertine Bathroom Tiles For Stylish Remodeling Projects
Travertine bathroom tiles are a great way to make a bathroom space look classy and stylish. The attractive and inviting look exuded by travertine tile is highly sought-after, and found in many new-build "designer" homes. You can also spruce up your own existing home design with travertine and not break the bank. With all the tile retailers competing for business, you may very well find deals for upwards of 30% off and more, though, and will very well be able to do a major bathroom remodel job for surprisingly little money, in some cases.
Travertine tile is not only quite affordable, but is easy to clean, is cool in the summer, and is very complementary to any home design. It's also a very sturdy material, and holds up well to objects crashing on it, and years of wear and tear. Travertine exudes class and elegance, and can be found in mansions, as well as smaller homes. It comes in a variety of colors, and natural patterning in the cut of the stone.
Advantages
It really is the best choice for a sophisticated flooring look and durable quality. Not only good for a bathroom remodeling project, travertine is highly versatile, and can be used for a number of home areas, including entryways, decking, kitchens, dining and living room areas, and of course, bathrooms. It's one of the fastest, cheapest methods for redoing the look of your home.
Another advantage of using travertine tile is that it is dry laid. Dry-laying tile is less expensive than the "wet" method, and travertine pavers can easily be replaced due to misaligned tiles or damage.
Types
There are different types of travertine bathroom tiles, such as honed, or polished, flamed, filled, tumbled, and chiselled. The difference in these types of travertine looks is pretty wide, and you'll certainly want to weigh the variation in aesthetics when deciding on what's going to grace your bathroom for years to come. Most travertine tile catalogs have at least a dozen types to choose from, including:
- Forum
- Quantum
- Moulin
- Coronet
- Warwick
- Camel
- Cing
- Parkwood
These are all variations on a marbled, crystallized limestone look, some with more striping; some are lighter or darker than others. Brawny is one of the darkest travertine tile types, and Forum is one of the lightest.
However you cut it--or polish and finish it--travertine bathroom tiles provide a luxurious and elegant look in any room of the house.
