We are a natural stone supplier specializing in travertine material, such as pavers and splitface (ledger-stone). In addition to travertine, we also offer marble pavers, porcelain pavers, and both black and white pebbles.
Travertine is a natural stone with unique variation that is known for its extreme durability and ability to stay cool. It has been used as building material for thousands of years in various architectural and decorative applications — flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and exterior paving. The Romans used travertine in structures like the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain.
Travertine has the ability to reflect heat and stay cool to the touch, even in the Texas sun. We have a video on our YouTube channel where we tested this out in 100°F weather!
The slip in travertine can vary depending on the density, but it's generally less slippery than other natural material due to its porosity, making it most commonly used outdoors and other areas that are likely to get wet. The more texture and holes the material has, the more grip it provides.
Compared to other natural stone, travertine has the ability to reflect heat and stay cool to the touch. Its durability makes it perfect for outdoor use — it's not easily cracked or broken, and it can even be used on driveways. Its porous texture makes it ideal for areas prone to getting wet such as bathrooms, kitchens, or around your pool.
Yes! We have tile available which are ½" in thickness compared to our pavers which come in 3cm and 5cm. Indoor tile is available in matching colors.
Travertine is generally easy to clean. Sealing or polishing is completely optional and should be left to professionals.
Certain colors come in 12x12, but our most common sizes are 12x24, 16x24, and Versailles (French) Pattern. We also carry Roman Pattern.
This pattern consists of 8 square feet of material: 2 pcs of 8x8, 2 pcs of 16x16, 1 pc of 8x16, and 1 pc of 16x24. Versailles pattern must be purchased in complete bundles.

We carry Ivory, Silver, Noce/Walnut, Color Mix/Country Classic, Scabos, Keykostone, and Shellstone/Limestone. We also carry Bluestone Marble, Grey and White Sandblasted Marble. Due to travertine being natural stone, certain batches will vary. You'll always see numbers associated with our product names — this ensures that we get the closest match if in the future you choose to extend your project or need more material for repairs.
Travertine is naturally the least slippery of the three. Bluestone Marble is more slick and tends to get hotter in the sun compared to other materials. Sandblasted marble has more texture giving it more grip when wet, and due to its lighter color doesn't get too hot. Shellstone is a type of limestone with shelling, so it's not as durable as marble or travertine and tends to have more slip, but it is also able to stay cool in the sun.
