I think you can’t go wrong when you choose quality materials for your home. It may cost a bit more, but it is almost always worth it in the long run, in the life of the counter/floor/furniture, etc. I didn’t know travertine could be used on floors … I bet it looks great, probably a bit southern European?

Thanks for the interesting post about travertine. I was going to buy these for my kitchen but I don’t want to keep re-sealing them. I look forward to coming back to this site in the future.

I’m sorry for the delay in getting the post up – Roger has just put in a beautiful travertine floor for one of our customers, and he is going to get me a picture to post with his article.

Thanks,
Heidi

Hi there,

I’ve just read your feedback re: Travertine tiles not being advisable for kitchen counters, but please could anyone advise if they have heard of Travertine tiles used on the floor of the kitchen – and if so, have you heard of any problems?

Thanks all,
Katie
