Travertine slabs can be processed in various ways, but the four classic treatments are sandblasting, honing, antiquing, and polishing.
Honed travertine has a vintage appearance and an almost oily feel, yet is resistant to scratching and can handle medium-intensity traffic.
The honed treatment is achieved with abrasives. The result is a surface that feels smooth to the touch but looks matte, without any shine, and has marks of time that add warmth to any space. If you like the hygge and wabi-sabi styles for perfect imperfection, you will love this treatment.
From Classic Travertine, we produce cut-to-size slabs according to client-specified dimensions for exterior and interior window sills, stair steps, terrace caps, as well as tiles for interior and exterior wall cladding.
Send us your measurements, and we will propose a detailed cost estimate based on the order quantity, as well as transportation to your address.
The natural patina in the color Noble Rust is what makes travertine truly beautiful and the most preferred choice worldwide!
Considering travertine's formation over thousands of years, this material falls somewhere between limestone and marble. Its structure is influenced by mineral elements brought in by underground springs and rivers, accumulating like stalactites and stalagmites. As a result, travertine is characterized by its porous structure and remarkable creamy color, giving it an antique elegance.
Travertine has been, and continues to be, one of the most used natural stones in interior and exterior design. It is a popular choice for decorating bathrooms, kitchens, as well as house facades, outdoor flooring, and more. It's not surprising—this tradition dates back to the ancient Romans, who built the famous Colosseum almost entirely from travertine. Michelangelo also chose it as the primary material for constructing the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.
Its name comes from the Italian "travertino," which in turn derives from the Latin "tiburtinus," meaning "from the Tiber." Large deposits of travertine are found in Tivoli, Italy, and about 40% of the world's travertine and marble deposits are in Denizli, Turkey.
Though an eternal classic, travertine is also used in modern contemporary architectural design. Architects and designers love the characteristic porous surface of this stone for its natural beauty, diverse shades and patterns, and classic appearance, which suits almost any interior or project—from kitchens to bathrooms, from walls in main rooms like living rooms to architectural features like staircases. Travertine is undoubtedly the optimal luxury choice.

Like every beautiful thing and like every natural material, natural stone requires proper care and maintenance.
We recommend: always treat stone surfaces with the right products for natural stone!
Regardless of the type of stone and its location, a single application of sealing agent will save you unnecessary worries and greatly facilitate maintenance.
Everything needs care. Use the high-quality German products from AKEMI, with which we have been working and recommending for years.
The treated impregnated surface does not allow water and contaminants to penetrate.
The protection with a sealer provides resistance against the destructive cycles of freezing and melting in external conditions. Water simply does not absorb when the stone surface is impregnated but forms droplets.
Depending on the type of sealer, it may not alter the external appearance of the stone or deepen its colors. Choose among the following types of sealers:
"Universal" sealer, which does not change the appearance of the stone and protects against water.
"Wet Effect" - a powerful sealer, like the Universal one, but with colors standing out in a more intense contrast.
"Stain-Free" is the best sealer: it protects against water and grease, also without changing the external appearance of the stone.
The frequency of reapplication depends on conditions and the usage of the stone tiles (whether it is flooring and traffic intensity). Usually, AKEMI recommends every 5 years for exterior stone, flooring + wet areas, and 10 years for interior stone (wall cladding).
How to apply the sealer? - It's easy, like child's play. The stone surface must be clean and very dry. The liquid is applied undiluted with a roller, sponge, or brush. If the surface is smooth polished or matte, a second step is required: the so-called "polishing" with a microfiber cloth for 20 minutes after applying the sealer. And we're done.
What cleaning products are used for natural stone? - Some types of stone, such as marble and travertine, are sensitive to acidic, very strong cleaning agents (e.g. bleach). We recommend: always clean your stone surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaning agent.

How to breathe new life into natural stone in the exterior?
In a few steps, natural stone can be restored to its original state, in its full brilliance and aesthetics.
First and foremost is regular cleaning and at least once a year thorough washing with a pressure washer. This is particularly important for our outdoor furniture products (barbecues, sinks, tables, countertops, and pavement tiles).
Once the surfaces are clean and dry, do not forget to apply a sealer.
Tip: Protect your outdoor flooring from furniture that may rust.
For specific stains such as oily spots, efflorescence (cement milk), mold, cement residues, or grout mixtures, silicones, or paints, it is best to contact us directly for consultation. Count on us; we will provide you with the right products to address the issue, wherever and whenever possible.
The durability of natural stone depends on the specific porosity of the stone type and its water absorption levels. For example, the porosity of granite and gneiss is around 1%, while sandstone has over 20%.
The biggest destructive enemies for items, coverings, and pavements exposed year-round are the sun and freeze/thaw cycles. When the stone is sealed/waterproof, you will receive maximum protection and much easier maintenance.
In severe cases of areas with contamination, the non-polished stone surface can be treated with an angle grinder and fine sandpapers. This process removes the top layer of the stone, making it look like new. (The process is similar to sanding wooden parquet.)
Stone is the best friend of the yard and garden. With love for beautiful, natural materials and proper care, the stone will continue to bring you joy for many years to come.
