Two questions that would define the application of Travertine or Slate
by Paul Toomey Marketing ManagerTravertine is as popular as slate tiles for flooring.
Through hundreds of years, these tiles have used in residential, commercial's
and industrial's indoor and outdoor floors. According to the style, strength,
and availability, both tiles are close to one another. The features and profits
are quite parallel as well. Then how to differentiate travertine and slate? The
question is Travertine or Slate what
would be the best for your design. Here some aspects have to be checked.
First, are you planning to decorate your living space or
professional space?
Second, is it indoor or outdoor?
These two questions would take you to the correct point.
Q:
1:
Travertine is a durable tile and it can fight dauntlessly
and continuously with various dangerous elements. Yet, the form of the
limestone is reactive. If vinegar, tomato, orange juice and other reactive
ingredients have come closer to the travertine floor, then the floor can be
damaged. Travertine needs a sealant. Whether you are using Silver Travertine or
Tuscany Beige, both need the sealing and re-sealing time-to-time. The sealant
is the protector, though such reactive elements can harm the floor. Apart from
it, travertine's daily maintenance is simple of travertine. Any kind of
chemical ingredient less clean is applicable. If users bring soap or vinegar,
then the tile would damage.
Slate tile needs high-quality sealant as well. The top
class sealing would protect the slate tile for a long time. People should not
think about the health of their floor. Any kind of ingredients, chemicals,
stains or scratches is being thrown away by the slate tile and sealant
combination. Though slate tiles are durable, with hammering or high pressure
stumping the tile would break. If a tile breaks, then the users have to pay a
lot to repair the area. The hot water cleaning is the best idea for keeping the
slate tile's beauty.
Thus, users can easily choose Travertine or Slate for their space.
Q:
2:
Travertine is a form of limestone. Limestone is a
sedimentary rock that is made up of fragments of corals, molluscs, and forams.
As the sedimentation process goes through wind, water, and other natural
particles, therefore, the travertine tiles have organic power to fight with
nature. The modern travertine stones like, Durango Cream, Philadelphia
Travertine, Roman Travertine and others are made of pure limestone.
After the chemical reaction and metamorphism process, the
original rock has taken the form of metamorphic rock. Slate tile is an example
of a metamorphic rock. The slate tile has gone through extreme heat and
built-up the right design. The pure example of such rock has an inspiring look
and feel. As the material goes through heat and chemical reactions, therefore,
the strength and resistance power has been inherited in it. The California
Gold, Ostrich Gray, Montauk Black and latest Peel & Stick ledger are
excellent examples of this season.
There is no such conclusion of using Travertine or Slate for the specific design. The article's duty was
to highlight some aspects. Now, the people will decide which would be their
best choice based on the knowledge. After deciding the exact material they can
find the modern tiles in WALL & TILE.
