Do floors get a bad press? I am not sure about that but what I am sure of is that floors dont get anything like the attention that they deserve. Floors need love too, and choosing the flooring for your home, be it internal or external, should be considered just as important as any other aspect of decorating your home. Thats why travertine flooring deserves a lot of respect.

You may never have heard of travertine flooring before but you will almost certainly have encountered it on many occasions. Travertine flooring is a classy style of flooring that looks incredible and is most frequently used in bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and conservatories, so there is a very good chance that your paths will quite literally have crossed.

So what is travertine flooring so special? What makes this a stand out flooring solution above many others? Well travertine flooring has a lot of things going for it, not least the fact that despite its great looks, it is still relatively affordable. It has an elegant and beautiful look and feel that is considered classic and timeless by many. Probably the most sought after travertine flooring is the classic tumbled style, though all styles seem to be extremely popular.

One thing you should always look out for in travertine flooring is the quality. Just as with many other flooring solutions, the stone does vary and some flooring providers may stock the lesser quality grades. They do the job but wont be anything like the quality that you would expect. That is why you should always check that you are buying premium grade travertine and not the inferior commercial grade. You may also be interested to learn that Travertine flooring is usual sourced from suppliers in Iran and Turkey, so your flooring will certainly be benefitting from a non-western influence.

Travertine flooring really can transform that interior space into something completely different. A conservatory can be given a whole new feel with the addition of travertine flooring, adding a classic and rustic warmth. Bathrooms can be given a lift by using travertine to give the floor an elegant look and feel, and a kitchen can really enjoy a lift with the beautiful look and feel that travertine flooring can give. Tumbled travertine refers to the surface of the flooring and this can give each tile a delightfully rustic tactile finish that really does look and feel quite superb, yet it lends itself well to both modern and contemporary styles with consummate ease. One style that is easily recognised is the chipped edge travertine flooring. The face of the tiles are gently uneven but brushed to give them a smooth feel whilst the edges are chipped so that the straight lines are broken up. Again, this gives the tiles a lovely rustic finish that is still a delight to look at and smooth to walk on. You could say that travertine flooring really is something of a true all rounder.

If you are contemplating starting a project in your home or place of work and are considering using travertine flooring in one way or another then do take time to make sure that you can source the perfect travertine flooring for your needs. As previously detailed, always choose a natural stone flooring supplier that only uses premium grade travertine flooring, as the difference is marked. Do check out the different travertine colours and finishes and make sure that you ask advice from the suppliers as they will have helped many people before with similar queries. Most importantly, enjoy your travertine flooring as it really is a beautiful flooring solution.
