Travertine, a natural stone known for its enduring beauty and historical significance, has been a preferred material in architecture and design for centuries. Among its various finishes, the antique travertine latte tiles stand out for their unique charm and versatility. These tiles, with their warm hues and aged appearance, impart a sense of timeless elegance to both floor and wall cladding.

What is Travertine?

Travertine is a type of limestone deposited by hot mineral springs. It is characterized by its porous surface and natural patterns formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate. Travertine Latte gets its name due to its creamy, latte-colored tones, ranging from light beige to warm caramel. The "antique" finish refers to the aged, worn look achieved through a series of treatments that enhance the stone's natural texture and patina. This finish not only adds character but also mimics the appearance of stone that has withstood the test of time.

Versatility and Heat Resistance

Versatility: Suitable for both floor and wall applications, these tiles can be used in various settings, from living rooms and kitchens to bathrooms and outdoor spaces.

Heat Resistance: The natural properties of travertine make it an excellent choice for areas exposed to heat, such as around fireplaces and in open terraces.

Aesthetic Appeal and Timelessness

Aesthetic Appeal: The warm, neutral tones of travertine latte tiles complement a wide range of interior styles, from traditional to modern. Their natural beauty can enhance the visual appeal of any space.

Timelessness: Unlike trendy materials that may go out of style, the classic look of travertine ensures it remains fashionable year after year.

Easy Maintenance: With proper sealing, travertine tiles are relatively easy to maintain. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water keeps them in perfect condition.

Eco-Friendliness: Travertine is a natural, sustainable material with a smaller environmental footprint compared to synthetic alternatives.

Applications of Travertine Latte Antique Tiles

Flooring: The durability and beauty of travertine make it an excellent choice for flooring in high-traffic areas such as foyers, hallways, and living rooms. The antique finish provides a non-slip surface, enhancing safety.

Wall Cladding: Whether used in bathrooms, kitchens, or accent walls, travertine tiles add a touch of luxury and sophistication. They can be used to create stunning backsplashes, shower walls, and feature walls.

Outdoor Spaces: Travertine's resistance to heat and weathering makes it suitable for outdoor applications like patios, walkways, and pool surrounds. The antique finish blends seamlessly with natural landscapes.

Fireplaces: Cladding a fireplace with antique travertine latte tiles creates a focal point that exudes warmth and elegance. The heat-resistant properties of travertine ensure it remains beautiful and functional.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

Sealing: To protect the tiles from staining and moisture, it is important to use a high-quality impregnator. This should be done during installation and periodically thereafter.

Cleaning: Use a neutral cleaner specifically designed for natural stone to avoid damaging the surface. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.

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.
