Travertine Tiles — Honed, Tumbled & French Pattern

Seven travertine ranges in filled-and-honed and tumbled finishes, including French-pattern sets — for bathrooms, living areas, patios and pool surrounds.

Travertine is a natural limestone, and its soft cream-to-walnut tones and gentle veining have made it the default choice for calm, classic interiors. It is cut into tiles rather than split, so you get crisper edges and a flatter surface than slate or sandstone.

We stock travertine in two characters. Filled-and-honed tiles — Classic, Exclusive, Cappuccino, Bianco Light and Bianco Country — have their natural pores filled and the face honed smooth for a refined, matt floor. Our French-pattern sets come unfilled and tumbled, or brushed with a chiselled edge, for a softer, aged look that suits patios and pool surrounds.

Every batch of travertine has its own tone. Visit the Northriding warehouse in Randburg to pick yours, or send us your room sizes on WhatsApp for quantities, delivery and sealing advice in one free quote.

Where travertine works best

  • Bathrooms

    Honed travertine on floors and walls gives a bathroom the calm, spa-like feel that porcelain imitates.

  • Living areas & kitchens

    Large 610 mm tiles keep grout lines few and let the natural veining read across the whole floor.

  • Patios & pool surrounds

    Tumbled French pattern has a naturally non-slip texture and stays comfortable underfoot in the Highveld sun.

Good to know

Travertine tiles: your questions answered

What is the difference between honed and tumbled travertine?

Filled-and-honed travertine has its natural pores filled and the surface ground smooth to a matt finish — best for indoor floors and walls. Tumbled travertine is left unfilled and tumbled so the edges soften and the surface keeps its natural texture, which suits patios, paths and pool surrounds.

What is a French pattern?

A French pattern is a repeating layout built from four tile sizes — 610 × 406, 406 × 406, 406 × 203 and 203 × 203 mm — supplied together as a set. It gives a floor a relaxed, old-world look and hides cuts well in irregular rooms. We stock it tumbled, and brushed with a chiselled edge.

Can travertine be used outside and around pools?

Yes. Tumbled and brushed travertine has a naturally textured, non-slip surface and stays comfortable underfoot in the sun, which is why it is so widely used for pool surrounds and patios. Honed tiles are better kept for indoor floors and walls.

Does travertine need sealing?

Yes — travertine is a natural, porous stone and should be sealed once it is laid. Our Water Block sealer is an invisible, quick-drying, water-based sealer suitable for travertine, slate, sandstone and marble. We’ll work out how much you need when we quote.

What sizes do travertine tiles come in?

Our square travertine tiles are 12 mm thick and come in 305 × 305, 406 × 406, 457 × 457 and 610 × 610 mm. The Bianco Light and Bianco Country ranges are stocked in 457 × 457 mm.

How much does travertine cost per square metre?

We quote every job individually rather than publishing a per-metre rate that may not match your stone, size or quantity. Send us your measurements on WhatsApp and we’ll reply with a written, no-obligation quote — usually within the hour during business hours. Contractors and resellers get trade pricing.
