Split Face Travertine Tiles – A Striking Choice That Makes A Real Statement

INTRODUCING THE UNIQUE DETAILING OF SPLIT FACE TRAVERTINE TILES

A split face travertine pool tile is a beautiful way to match and elevate the aesthetics of the liner and mosaic you already have your eye on. Think of it as a way to really celebrate the way in which every other part of your pool area comes together and you’ll be left in no doubt about the beauty of the end result. 

Taking your time here is what it is all about, not least of all because you want to be able to set the tone in your own signature way. We like to think about it as a simple way to introduce bold aesthetics, visuals and patterns with a touch of craftsmanship that can be so hard to find these days. 

SPLIT FACE TRAVERTINE TILES CREATE A STRIKING LOOK 

Embracing the unique look of a travertine split face tile allows you to go in a somewhat different direction when compared to filled and honed or filled and polished tiles. This means that rather than focusing on the smoothness of the finish, and the way the light dances with it, you focus on layering. 

Take a classic honed tile, for example. You’ll see that it has a way of interacting with the light that really is a joy to behold. But what it can’t always do is make you stop and consider the different layers and cuts involved in bringing such a nuanced structure to life. Stratified tiling really does make an impact. 

SPLIT FACE TRAVERTINE TILES ARE VERY SIMPLE TO INSTALL AT HOME

When you want to treat yourself to a silver split face travertine, or even a bolder black option to match your choice of paver, you’ll be glad to know that DIY is always on the menu. The way in which the finishing and edging is so consistent means you’ll never have to stop and pause for rework. 

Taking a moment to put your tiles and trim to one side, and first focus on preparing the substrate, is the only way to make sure the job runs smoothly. It’s all about giving yourself the perfect foundation to work on so that the adhesive or mortar adheres just the way the manufacturer intended. 

WHAT IS A SPLIT FACE TRAVERTINE POOL TILE?

Different cuts of travertine are laid in a stratified manner to create a split face pool tile. The result is a visually striking approach that allows you to explore plenty of contemporary design choices in a way that feels truly homely 

ARE POLISHED TRAVERTINE TILES SLIPPERY WHEN WET?

No, travertine is ideal for use in showrooms, wet rooms and around pool areas. It is designed to have enough grip underfoot so that the whole family can enjoy the new-look space in a way that’s safe and comfortable. 

DO YOU NEED TO SEAL POLISHED TRAVERTINE TILE?

Travertine is an inherently porous material due to the intricate nature of its natural structure. Sealing will help ensure that staining and discoloration that can result from prolonged water ingress are never an issue.
