Travertine has long been admired with its warm and earthy colors and natural texture. Being one of the most multifunctional natural stones, it makes any space look timelessly elegant. Travertine has also gained more and more popularity in the past few years within the bathroom shower rooms- making pragmatic elements more of a spa. Nevertheless, a shower using travertine must be elegantly designed so that the beauty and durability can be obtained. We unite our experience of natural stone with quality service and devotion to quality at Xiamen Wanshi, we are able to help you make the right choice on your next project.
Why Choose Travertine for Shower Walls and Floors?
Why use Travertine to Shower Wall and Floors?
The special appearance of travertine is hard to be compared with other materials. Its natural color differing as creamy ivories and brown, rich walnuts, gives a warm organic touch that adds the peaceful atmosphere in any bathroom. Other than the appearance, travertine is strong, naturally slip resistant with texturing, and extremely valuable to a house.
Travertine may be used in a wet and damp climate such as a shower bathroom when installed and adequately chosen, and have its beauty preserved through decades. These five points of our Quality Monitor will make sure that each piece of the travertine produced by us as Xiamen Wanshi attends to the utmost quality, such as attentive slab sorting with no flaws, accurate cutting and polishing and finishing.
Material Selection: Filled vs. Unfilled Travertine
Choosing filled and unfilled travertines is probably one of the most significant decisions in case of using travertine in a shower. Travertine includes natural pits and voids which may be left uncovered (when they are not filled), or covered (when they are filled) with grout or resin.
Filled Travertine: This is a product that is typically used on showers. Plugging the gaps will produce a more regular surface that will be easy to wash and will not allow water to permeate. When filled travertine is well sealed, it works very well in wet conditions.
Unfilled Travertine: Although the unfilled Travertine is aesthetically appealing, it is more expensive to maintain in a shower environment. Unclosed pores also have the tendency to entrap moisture and soap residue and it is dangerous to get stained and mould unless carefully sealed and addressed.
At Wanshi, we have both, with expert knowledge of production between the quarry and factory. Our team has the capability of guiding you in the right type of product depending on how you want your product to be designed and how you want it to be maintained.
Finish Options: Balancing Aesthetics and Safety
Travertine finish is a crucial part of the appearance and functionality of the shower. Common finishes include:
Honed Finish: Smooth, no gloss, surface that provides a modern appearance. Honed travertine offers average slip resistance and is also somewhat easy to care.
Tumbled Finish A textured, antiqued finish with rounded edges. Tumbled travertine has good slip resistance and so it is widely used in the floor of the shower.
Polished Finish: This is a beautiful travertine, but when wet is slippery; it is not largely used in shower flooring. This is more appropriate on walls or vanity where the risk of slips is negligible.
Textured finishes which include tumbled or brushed can be suggested as shower floor finishes to improve on safety. Our state of art work processing workshops enable us to provide accurate finishes that meet the requirements of your project.
Design Considerations: Layout and Visual Impact
Travertine offers design marvels. Its grey colour palette can be combined with a wide variety of design styles: rustic Mediterranean to modern minimalist. In view of the following design approaches:
Large-Format Tiles: Bigger tiles on the shower walls will decrease the proximity of grouts, and provide a spa-like look. This style highlights the beauty of the stone that is found naturally and makes cleaning less complicated.
Decoration: Accent Features can be introduced by adding mosaics or decorative bands of travertine mosaics to outline niches, benches, or feature walls.
Continuous Flow: The travertine applied to shower walls should be continued on the floor of the bathroom to achieve the sense of oneness, and the effect of continued flow is highly successful in small bathrooms.
Our warehousing is structured to safeguard every work so that it does not suffer any damage to its gloss and integrity. Having the lean inventory control and tight quality control guarantees us a uniform excellence with the products of any size.
