Travertine Look
Redefining natural elegance
Inspired by centuries of nature’s touch, our Travertine look tiles bring the classic stone’s elegance and warmth into modern spaces. With rich textures and subtle veining, these tiles offer the perfect balance of beauty, durability, and ease of maintenance.
Our Travertine Look tile range
Our porcelain travertine look tiles offer the beauty of natural stone with the durability of porcelain. They capture the classic look of travertine - from soft cream to walnut tones - in a hard-wearing, stain-resistant surface. The collection includes various floor and wall formats, with finishes ranging from matt to soft honed. As these tiles are manufactured rather than quarried, you get consistent color and easy maintenance. Contact our team for samples and full technical specifications to help with your project.
Choosing the right travertine look tile for the project
Specification usually comes down to where the surface lives and how hard it works. For floors in living spaces and entrances, a honed or matt porcelain in a larger rectified format gives that calm, monolithic stone feeling with tight grout lines. For wet areas, bathrooms and around pools, a structured or textured finish lifts slip resistance where it matters, and our team can provide the relevant slip-rating documentation for your compliance needs. One of the quiet advantages of porcelain travertine is indoor and outdoor continuity, the same look can flow from an interior floor to a terrace or pool surround in a slip-rated or 20mm paver format, holding the threshold without a visual break. Talk to us early about floor versus wall suitability, format availability and edge detailing so the specification holds together.
How to design with Travertine Look tiles
Travertine has always belonged to spaces that age gracefully, the soft, sunlit calm of a Mediterranean courtyard, the honeyed quiet of a gallery floor. In porcelain, that feeling becomes specifiable at scale. It pairs naturally with timber, brushed metals, lime-washed walls and planting, grounding contemporary interiors without feeling cold, and softening minimal ones without clutter. Used wall to floor in a bathroom it creates a serene, spa-like envelope; run across a living floor it gives a room its quiet centre. The look carries warmth into commercial lobbies and hospitality spaces just as readily as a private home.
Why specify travertine look tiles with BetterTiles?
BetterTiles has been an Australian family tile and flooring house since 1961, sixty-five years of curating surfaces for the people who specify them. Our travertine look range is hand-sourced from leading porcelain manufacturers across Europe and Asia, chosen for the honesty of the stone effect and the integrity of the body beneath it. What we offer beyond the tile is the part that steadies the wheel, full technical documentation, slip ratings, format schedules and samples, supplied clearly and on time so your specification holds from concept to handover. When a project gets complicated, you know who to call.
Yes, our travertine look range includes formats suited to interior floors, walls and wet areas, and the larger rectified sizes work well for a near-seamless run across a space. The right choice depends on the finish and format, so we recommend confirming floor versus wall suitability for each tile with our team, who can supply the full specification.
Many of our travertine look porcelains are available in slip-rated structured finishes and 20mm paver formats made for terraces, courtyards and pool surrounds, with frost and UV resistance for the Australian climate. One of the advantages of porcelain is indoor and outdoor continuity, so the same look can carry across the threshold. Our team can confirm which finishes suit your outdoor application.
Porcelain travertine gives you the honeyed colour, cross-cut character and honed appearance of the natural stone, but with far greater resistance to staining, etching and wear, and without the ongoing sealing real travertine needs. It also offers more consistent colour from batch to batch. For most high-use or wet projects, it is the lower-maintenance specification.
The range typically spans matt and soft honed surfaces that read as filled stone, through to structured and textured finishes for slip-sensitive areas. The finish you choose affects both the feeling underfoot and the slip performance, so we are happy to talk through the options and provide samples and slip-rating documentation before you specify.
Yes. We provide physical samples alongside full technical documentation, formats, finishes, slip ratings and suitability, so you can specify with confidence and keep your project moving without friction. Our team works with architects, designers and builders every day and can turn around the detail you need for compliance and presentation.
Absolutely. The durability and colour consistency of porcelain make travertine look tiles well suited to hospitality, retail and commercial floors and walls, where natural travertine can struggle with wear and maintenance. We can advise on formats, finishes and slip ratings appropriate to commercial traffic and supply the documentation your specification requires.
