These days, an increasing number of homeowners are taking a strong liking to natural stones, and this is particularly evident in their use for as many applications in the house as possible. For instance, in the bathroom, natural stones can be used for different applications from wall mosaics and flooring, to tub surrounds and vanity tops. One natural stone that is especially common for bathroom applications is travertine. Today, more and more homeowners are choosing travertine not only for its elegant character, but also for its interesting range of patterns, color variations, and venations.

Before having any travertine tile shower designs installed in your bathroom, there are some basic things you need to really understand about this natural stone to help in its maintenance, and most importantly in your shower care.

Benefits

Color Scheme & Tone

As opposed to other stone variants, travertine is available in a wide range of color scheme depending on the quantity of iron in it. Travertine bathroom paint color is not monochromic, rather it is available in varied shades or tones. For instance, travertine is available in all shades of the ivory, creamy color, golden honey, silverish green, pink, coral red grey, brown, hazel and mocha. And sometimes travertine can exhibit contrast colorful strips in one tile. There is no two identical travertine tiles. This one unique quality makes travertine a suitable stone for any bathroom design.

Durability

Available in varied color schemes and tones from beige, white, grey, red, brown, as well as golden tone, the patina trait travertine exhibits with age has highly been praised. Unlike other stone that have their natural colors fade or wear thin through time, this special quality of travertine evidences the fact that it gets better with age. No wonder travertine shower design choice doesn’t end in the shower walls or floors. Travertine is now being used for other bathroom fixtures including bath tubs and sinks, countertops and vanity, or even the entire bathroom space.

Ecological Consciousness

Due to its natural porosity nature, travertine surface is filled with tiny natural holes. Unlike other rock variants where this is considered a drawback, the natural porous quality of travertine does not only add to its extraordinary qualities, but makes it the ecologically conscious stone it is. Not many re-working or manufacturing procedures is required for travertine to become the product it is today on the market.

Affordability

As well as marble tiles, granite and marble tiles are one of the most expensive bathroom tiles design of the bunch. And most modern day designers are quite nut about using these tiles as bathroom and kitchen floors, bathroom and kitchen counters, kitchen backdrops and shower tiles.

Travertine, a cheaper alternative to these high-priced tiles, offers the same elegant grain and shade. Constructed from natural limestone, travertine is an easily recognizable natural stone surface that offers one of the best finishes for bath area, not just because of the beautiful textures and grains it comes in, but also for its non-slip surface when fired, matte or bush-hammered.

Drawbacks

While the porous quality of this rock is well praised, if not well taken care of it can lead to travertine tile shower problems. Generally, when installing travertine in your bathroom, it is advised to always use a polish product or special sealant on it to prevent the going in and out of water. Prolonged exposure to water can cause the tiles to crack or even lose their configurations.

It is also worth understanding that the mineral composition (reactive) of travertine can sometimes retain traces of spills on it. For instance, permanent stain can result from the reaction of the mineral structure of travertine and acidic juices like lemon or orange.

Travertine tiles may as well not be compatible with some domestic cleaning substances. For instance, cleaning products like salt or vinegar are generally not compatible with travertine tiles and must be used not on these tiles. Therefore, it is important to carefully choose a travertine tile shower cleaning product which is not just less acidic, but one that won’t cause stains on the tiles.

Conclusion

Generally, travertine is an incredible natural stone for any bathroom design, provided the householder is meticulous enough to carefully maintain and care for it. With its beautifully carved lines and wide range of colors, travertine is a must for the great aesthetics and design. The tile shapes, sizes and colors allow travertine to help create an aesthetic bathroom space.
