Travertine stone is often compared with marble or limestone, as it is created similarly. It is composed of calcite, a sedimentary rock.

The matte form of travertine is widely applied outdoors on pool surrounds, paving, and walkways. These floors are highly porous and do not heat up easily.

Travertine is commonly available in gold, ivory, and cream colors. Travertine can be sharpened or edged to be used in modern decors.

The cost of travertine is cheaper when compared with other types of stone flooring materials.
