Quick Snapshot: Before ordering travertine tiles online in Australia, check 7 things: 1) Grade: Must be A-Grade Premium, not B/C grade. 2) Thickness: 12mm for indoors, 20/30mm for outdoors. 3) Slip Rating: P5 for pool/patio, P3 for indoor. 4) Batch Matching: Tiles, pavers & pool coping must come from same batch. 5) FREE Samples: Never order without seeing it. 6) Freight: Must be on pallets, insured, not courier.
Ordering travertine tiles online can save you thousands – but only if you know what to check. A beautiful photo online can hide cheap epoxy fill, wrong thickness, or different batches that don’t match.

This is the #1 trap. Many online sellers advertise “premium” but sell B or C grade.
How to check online:
Ordering wrong thickness is the most expensive mistake.
Rule: If your project is outdoors, always order 20mm or 30mm. Our best-selling outdoor thickness: Ivory Travertine 30mm Pavers and Silver Travertine 20mm & 30mm
This is a safety and legal issue.
If the website doesn’t list slip rating, don’t buy. All our outdoor tiles are lab-tested P5.
This is what cheap sellers never tell you. Travertine varies by batch.
If you order tiles from one supplier and pool coping from another, the colour will NOT match. Your pool will look patchy.
What to ask: “Do you have matching Bullnose, Drop Face coping and French Pattern from the SAME batch?”
We do. Every colour we sell has a complete system:
Never order 50m² of stone you have never held.
Photos lie. Ivory can look yellow online. Silver can look blue. You need to see it against your house bricks, your pool water, your indoor light.

If a seller charges $50 for a sample or doesn’t offer samples at all – red flag.
Travertine is heavy and fragile. If it’s sent via TNT / AusPost courier, it WILL arrive chipped.
Correct method: Strapped on a wooden pallet, wrapped, and delivered by forklift truck with insurance.
