What yellow travertine looks like
Golden ochre fills the slab in the photo, and soft clouds of tone open across it, from yellow to light orange. No veins set a direction: the pattern is cloudy, made of diffuse patches and small pores. With low contrast, the gold barely changes within this slab.

How the stone is cut changes the pattern of yellow travertine: vein cut brings parallel bands; cross-cut, a cloudy look.
Finishes: from a polished shine to open pores
On this stone, finish and pore filling go together: they decide the shine, the feel and the final look.
-
Polished
The finish with the most reflection; with the pores filled, the surface feels smooth.
-
Honed
Matte and without reflection: in wet areas, such as a shower, it slips less than polished.
-
Brushed
With open pores, a brushed finish takes this travertine outdoors and to the pool, where it stays cool in the sun.
-
Antiqued
Open pores and a rustic texture: the finish that lets travertine work outdoors.

Questions about yellow travertine
Is Travertino Giallo a different stone?
It is the same stone: Travertino Giallo is another way of writing yellow travertine. Order it under either name, it makes no difference.
Is yellow travertine a marble?
No. It is a limestone that formed in hot springs: the gas bubbles trapped as it formed are the pores of this stone. Next to a marble, denser and pore-free, you can see the difference at a glance.
Does yellow travertine work for a kitchen countertop?
It does, with one condition: lemon, vinegar or tomato etch the surface, just like on a marble. A travertine countertop is for someone who accepts the marks of daily use. If your kitchen cannot show marks, granite stands up better to acids.
What care does yellow travertine need?
Neutral soap is all it takes to clean it. Sealer is the backup against stains: the protection that filling and sealing give is moderate, not total. Keep an eye on the pore filling too: where water falls every day, check it now and then.
Is the yellow travertine photo a real slab?
Yes. The photo shows a real slab of yellow travertine, with its pores and its clouds of tone. Every slab is different. Before you buy, we send you photos of the slabs available for your order.
