The 7-Step Checklist to Choose the Right Travertine Tiles

1. Where Will You Use It? Indoor vs. Outdoor

This decides everything.

 

    • Outdoor / Pool / Patio / Driveway / Pathway: You MUST use Tumbled & Unfilled Travertine Tiles. The natural holes provide a natural non-slip texture (P5 rating), it’s heat-resistant and won’t get slippery when wet. Go for 20mm or 30mm thickness. Look for: outdoor travertine tiles, travertine pool tiles, non slip travertine tiles.

    • Indoor / Bathroom / Kitchen / Living Room: Use Filled & Honed Travertine Tiles. The holes are factory-filled and the surface is smooth and easy to clean (P3 rating). Perfect for bathroom travertine tiles and kitchen floor tiles. Go for 12mm thickness.

2. Choose Your Finish

 

    • Tumbled (Unfilled): Rustic, textured, highest non-slip. Best for outdoors.

    • Filled & Honed: Smooth, matte, modern. Best for indoors. The most popular for all-round use.

    • Polished: Glossy and luxurious but slippery – avoid for wet areas.

    • French Pattern: 4 sizes in one pack (400×400, 400×800, 800×800 etc) for a classic Roman look. Great for large areas. Highly searched as French pattern travertine.

3. Choose Your Colour & Style

 

    • Ivory: Makes spaces look bigger and brighter. Matches everything.

    • Silver: Modern, contemporary, hides dirt better.

    • Noce & Walnut: Warm and cozy, perfect for traditional homes.

    • White: Clean, coastal, luxury resort feel.

    • Crazy Paving: For unique, organic pathways and garden stepping stones.

4. Check Thickness & Size

 

    • 12mm Tiles: For indoor floors, walls, balconies (must be laid on concrete slab).

    • 20mm & 30mm Pavers: For outdoors, can be laid on compacted road base or concrete. 30mm is best for driveways and pool surrounds.

5. Always Check Grade & Slip Rating

Insist on A-Grade Premium Turkish Travertine. Lower grades have excessive filling and break easily. For safety, outdoor tiles must have P5 slip rating. At Stone Pavers Australia, all our outdoor travertine is tested and P5 rated.

6. Understand Travertine Tiles Price

Travertine tiles price in Australia ranges from $54/m² to $149/m². At Stone Pavers Australia we import direct from quarry, so we beat any written quote. Price depends on colour (White is premium) and thickness (30mm costs more than 12mm). Always ask for FREE samples before buying.

7. Sealing & Maintenance

Yes, travertine needs sealing because it’s porous. Use a penetrating natural stone sealer (we recommend Rockstar Sealer). Reseal every 3-4 years. Tumbled outdoor tiles need less maintenance than polished indoor ones.
