What Navona Travertine looks like
A light beige with cream and pinkish beige tones covers the slab in the photo. The horizontal bands crossing it are fine, soft and barely marked. The contrast is low: the bands accompany the beige instead of cutting it. Within the slab the banding stays uniform; every slab is different, and you choose yours from photos of the ones available.

Navona Travertine finishes
With travertine, the finish and the pore filling combine: together they decide whether the surface ends up smooth or rustic.
-
Polished
Smooth and glossy when the pores are filled; it is where an acid mark shows most.
-
Honed
No sheen or reflection; in a shower or on a bathroom floor it is less slippery than polished when wet.
-
Brushed
A lightly textured surface; with open pores it works outdoors and around pools.
-
Antiqued
A rustic open-pored look that stays cool in the sun beside a pool.

Questions about Navona Travertine
How do I tell Navona Travertine from Roman Travertine?
By the color and the pattern. In its photo, Roman travertine is light grayish beige and shows many open holes of different sizes. In Navona's, the stone is light beige with fine, faint horizontal bands.
Is Navona Travertine a marble?
No. Navona is a limestone: it formed in hot springs, and gas trapped during formation left the pores it has. Marble, in contrast, is more compact and has no pores.
What happens to Navona Travertine on a kitchen countertop?
It takes acid marks: vinegar, wine or lemon juice etch it like a marble. If you want a countertop that always looks the same, another stone is a better choice; the kitchen page compares the options.
What care does Navona Travertine need?
Wash it with water and neutral soap; acidic cleaners etch it. With filled, sealed pores, its stain resistance is medium. In showers and wet areas, check the state of the filling from time to time.
Is the Navona Travertine photo a real slab?
Yes: it is a real Navona slab, photographed as it comes, not a recreation. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
