USING TRAVERTINE COUNTERTOP TILES TO REFRESH THE REST OF THE KITCHEN 

Adding a travertine countertop is a simple way to refresh the entire look and feel of the kitchen, especially if you want to do it without changing your cabinets. Something as simple as changing the countertop surface for a material that has a touch of luxury and natural elegance about it really does make all the difference. Add one of our matching travertine backsplashes and pair your choice of travertine with a few exterior inclusions visible from the window for extra style points. 

The key thing to remember here is that you can do things in your own signature way, regardless of what anyone else has to say. It can be all too easy to try and copy something you have seen online because you think you should when, actually, there are far more personal options on the next page of our catalog. Take your time to discover a kitchen look that is authentically you and you’ll never look back. 

TRAVERTINE COUNTERTOP TILES ARE ALWAYS HIGHLY DURABLE  

When you use a travertine countertop on a daily basis you will see that it actually has a harder life than your flooring; and sometimes it even has to endure more than the freezing conditions that lie outside. This is because everyone will cut, scrape and scratch the surface, which is why you need something which is durable enough to withstand it all without ever suffering a mark. Travertine is just such a material and it has a beautiful aesthetic to go with it. 

As you get to know your options you’ll see that matching your countertop to the rest of the kitchen is really all about celebrating the subtle variations in color. Pick a couple of your favorite tones and use them to accent second surfaces and countertop accessories. That little switch in the way you do things will set you free to create a homely, contemporary and well-appointed space that’s perfect for catching up with your nearest and dearest. 

TRAVERTINE COUNTERTOP TILES ARE VERY EASY TO CLEAN 

You’d be forgiven for thinking that adding travertine kitchen countertops is going to add to your daily cleaning routine. The good news is that this simply isn’t the case because the stone is able to be quickly and easily wiped down so that it stays as pristine as your new-look tiled walls and that beautiful little corner shelf you’ve also added recently. Great for those of you who want a beautiful home without the hours of cleaning you think it will cost you. 

With the right waterproof sealant, which any kitchen fitter or tiler can apply with ease, your new travertine countertops will also be impervious to water penetration. This makes sure that they will not become stained or discolored when things are inevitably spilt. Just what you want to hear when you need a surface in your kitchen that looks the part as well as acts the part. All you have to do now is decide who will install it.
