Travertine is a natural stone used for both interior and exterior decoration projects. Besides being a unique material with an unspecific pattern or its porous structure, travertine has also a wide range of shades available. Travertine can be defined as a mosaic of the natural landscape – a story captured in a broken piece of the universe.
For exterior paving, Red OpiumCross Cut Travertine with brushed and chiseled finish is a daring material, defined by bold shades of light brown and cream Red Opium, ideal for any exterior decoration project, especially for medium traffic paving. The two finishes underline the veins and color variation that will help you obtain a unique space.
The material durability and its 3 cm thickness are ideal for medium to heavy traffic pavements, but also in wet spaces such as the swimming pool. We also recommend it for both covered and uncovered terraces. The beauty of this material is given by the color variation, so that each tile is unique, yet together they form a perfect unit for your home decorating project.
Tips for installation:
This is as important as choosing the stone best suited to your decoration project
After unpacking the tiles, you need to wash them and dry
For installing the tiles, it is recommended to use the Weber Set Marmo Plus adhesive, a fast setting flexible adhesive, suitable for the exterior; it can also be used for underfloor heating
Begin installation for the French pattern sets from the middle, not from the sides
Apply the Weber Color Comfort joint grout after installation for highlighting the natural stone; you have 30 shades to choose from
For a correct installation we recommend hiring an expert in natural stone installation
Tips for natural stone aftercare
Travertine is a hard and durable stone, yet for an extended lifetime you should keep in mind 3 steps: cleaning, sealing and aftercare
Clean the surface before sealing with LTP Grimex, available in our product range
We recommend sealing the surface with LTP Mattstone, suitable for both interior and exterior. This procedure offers everyday protection against water drops, dust and difficult stains. This procedure seals the micro pores, preventing the penetration of water into the fabric, so the stone will not stain so easily
For enhancing the color and highlight the natural stone beauty, we recommend LTP Color Intensifier
For cleaning and aftercare following the installation you can use LTP Waxwash cleaner that will not influence the sealed surface
For difficult stains, use LTP Power Stripper and for dust stains use LTP Grout Stain Remover
Travertine is one of the most amazing materials for your interior or exterior decoration projects. In case we did not convinced you yet of the unique look found in every tile of natural stone, we suggest ordering a sample on our website.
