Honed finish for a soft matte effect
Durango Select is the finest quality travertine from the world-famous quarries of Mexico. It's an extremely clean looking stone with minimal evidence of quartz veining or pits and holes. It comes in a soft golden beige color, the perfect neutral base for a stunning interior. Its pattern is subtle, but there is a natural stony mottled effect which adds to its beautiful rustic charm. As with most natural stones, the pattern and texture are irregular, some have a larger portion of cream tones, others are more evenly balanced. However, the overall effect is a consistently neutral coloring, the perfect addition to any home.
Travertine is a sedimentary rock created by layers of minerals deposited over a period of time. It is specifically created when these deposits are altered by a body of water. The sediments harden to form a solid rock which is then cut into slabs to be used for tiles. It is a generally hardwearing stone and can be used for flooring throughout the house. Like most natural stones, it requires sealing upon installation to protect it from moisture and staining.
Travertine is an incredibly popular stone in the home for its perfect balance of durability, gorgeous design and excellent price point.
A honed finish creates a gorgeous, soft matte effect. It is sanded down until perfectly smooth, revealing a satin finish which complements its creamy coloring. The muted surface is not reflective like a polished sheen; therefore, it creates a more delicate design with no harsh reflections.
A honed finish is slightly more scratch resistant than a polished finish. Damage to the stone is not so obvious because it doesn't break the glossy sheen. In fact, many regard a honed finish as generally more practical. It has a higher level of slip-resistance than a polished stone, and therefore it is more appropriate for areas of the home where there is likely to be water, such as entrance halls and bathrooms.
It's also a more durable finish and only needs a little maintenance to keep it looking its best. Any wear and tear that does occur creates an antique, aged effect which is highly desired. Just mop regularly with a pH neutral cleanser to maintain its soft pale color.
Durango Travertine's natural color palette and pattern is great for achieving a delicate interior design. Pair it with other soft tones of green, gray or blue for a modern country-style home. Just add accessories to match, such as your favorite soft furnishings and beautiful lighting.
Durango Travertine is also great for use in a bathroom setting. It creates a space full of calm and tranquillity, where you can really relax and while away the hours. Add natural textures such as wood and cotton for a back-to-nature feel, ultimate serenity.
