TRAVERTINE STONE FOR DRIVEWAY OR POOL DECK
Travertine is perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, living areas or a pool deck due to its beauty, durability, and other benefits for homeowners. Travertine is a natural stone that comes in swirling shades of earth tones like browns, creams, and reds. It offers a natural beauty to any room and can easily complement a variety of designs and home decor styles. The naturally textured looks give it interest to the eye. The stone comes in a number of finishes: brushed, polished, or tumbled depending on whether you want a shiny, high-gloss finish or a more subdued matte look.
Another major benefit of travertine tile is its durability. Travertine is a very strong natural stone that is not easily damaged or scratched. It is also moisture-resistant, which makes it a great option in kitchens and bathrooms.
Travertine is eco-friendly and also recyclable. If you ever decide to switch things up you won’t have to feel guilty about your flooring material ending up in a landfill. Depending on the travertine flooring company and your flooring preferences, you may even be able to have your own flooring designed from recycled travertine floor tiles.
MARBLE TILES
The clean glow you get from marble tile is elegant and comes in a multitude of color options including white, green, gray, black, or with streaks. The high-glossed finish makes it a classic favorite. Because of its finishing glow, marble is able to reflect light illuminating the dimmest settings creating an inviting area that might otherwise be dark and drab.
Although it can be manufactured, marble is originally an organic substance. Much like a snowflake, there aren’t any duplicate patterns, but you can still achieve a cohesive look by remaining with the same color slab. By using the same slab, your space will have keep a unique coloring, complementing any other colors that you have paired with your space.
No more scuffed or scratched floors! Even in high traffic areas, marble floors have the tenacity to withstand the tussle of little footprints that kids bring throughout the home.

With marble floors, you no longer have to worry about guests staining your white carpeting with red wine either! Even with a household full of kids, parents will be able to clean up messy spills and even crayon marks from their marble floor with a damp, soapy towel.
A great feature of marble flooring is that they are moisture resistant making the surface easy to clean. However, it is highly recommended to protect your floors with a seal.

Marble floors are perfect for households with pets and especially for veterinarian hospitals!
