Brushed Travertine
Description
A brushed surface that softens edges and enhances texture — durable, slip-resistant and popular for pool decks and walkways.
In our stock photos Brushed Travertine shows a light grey-beige vein-cut stone with a wire-brushed, gently textured surface.
Brushed Travertine is supplied 20mm / 30mm (custom on request) in a brushed (textured) finish, for floors, wall cladding and outdoor paving.
Origin & Technical Profile
Origin: Imported from Turkey, one of the world's largest exporters of marble and travertine. Most Turkish travertine comes from the Denizli basin in western Turkey, the same geological system that formed the Pamukkale terraces.

Practical note: Vein-cut stone is sawn parallel to the bedding layers, which gives straight stripes; lay all pieces with the stripes running the same way. Wire brushing opens the surface slightly for a textured, anti-slip feel suited to bathrooms and outdoor areas. Clean with pH-neutral stone soap; on unfilled or tumbled stone, sweep grit regularly so the open pores do not trap dirt.
Technical figures are typical ranges for this type of stone, not lab results for one block. Every natural slab differs in colour and pattern, so please view the actual slab before it is cut.
