The look of classic travertine is impeccable. However, if you choose it, the delay, mess, and extra costs also accompany. Filling pits on-site is a challenging task and often adds to the costs. For those who only want the unmatched look of classic travertine while avoiding all the mess that comes along, the epoxy-filled Ivory Light Travertine is a perfect solution.
Atlas Tile & Stone is now supplying Ivory Light Travertine, vein-cut, epoxy-filled, and honed. Yes, you read it right. All this, at the price of unfilled classic travertine. We’ve been in trade for near 10 years, and believe that this epoxy-filled Ivory Light Travertine is a total game-changer for builders, homeowners, and designers alike.
What is Epoxy-Filled Travertine? Why Is It Gaining Popularity?
Travertine has some natural pores and voids, which are filled with a clear resin (i.e. epoxy) at the factory itself. The resin used is highly durable. After the process of epoxy filling, the surface is honed or finished to obtain a smooth, timeless look. The result is a travertine tile, filled with epoxy, honed, easy to clean, smoother underfoot, and resistant to grime. Various job-friendly sizes are available, like 800×400×12 mm and 600×400×12 mm (12 & 15 mm thickness). Moreover, we can also supply customised large-format sizes in various thicknesses on order (15 & 20 mm thickness).
There are various reasons why our epoxy-filled travertine variant is gaining traction in the Australian market. Let us tell you where it wins preference over the unfilled counterpart.
The installation is cleaner. As they eliminate the slurry mess and post-installation filling. This ultimately saves you from extra labour and costs. Epoxy-filled travertine tiles leave fewer places for the accumulation of mould, grit, and soap scum, and enhance the scope for hygiene. We thus recommend this option for kitchens and bathrooms.
Our factory finishing delivers a consistent look, which isn’t always the case when you get tiles filled on site. Moreover, as the surfaces are smoother and more comfortable than usual, this option is ideal for barefoot areas too.
Here Are the Most Common Use Cases of Epoxy-Filled Classic Travertine
- Kitchen and living room floors – A seamless, low-maintenance finish
- Bathrooms & en-suites – Smooth, natural stone tiles that are easy to clean
- Fireplaces & feature walls – A beautiful play of textures created by pairing raw, unfilled feature pieces with filled honed tiles
- Outdoor wall cladding – Pre-filled means less grime accumulated in the pits over time
While resin-filled or epoxy-filled travertine is widely in demand for textural schemes and feature walls, it also makes a great choice for exterior cladding. The pre-filled nature leaves fewer dirt traps and keeps them low-maintenance. Our experts will guide you on the appropriate fixings, adhesives for the substrate, seals for managing external grime and moisture, and movement-joint best practice. Our guidance on slip ratings and texture will help you achieve the right finish in the outdoor applications.
The classic vein cut epoxy-filled ivory travertine is gaining demand for its soft cream base, matte finish, and elegant linear veining. On the other hand, epoxy-filled bathroom travertine tiles make a terrific choice for bathrooms, as the surfaces are easy to clean in wet areas.
Why Does This Offer Matters?
We’ve always observed a tendency in the Australian market of buying unfilled travertine and filling it on site. While this is preferred to control project costs, it adds to the risk, labour, finish time, and costs. On the contrary, the price of epoxy-filled classic travertine that we’re supplying is the same as unfilled, eliminating the on-site hassle and premium, which means you get a higher-performing finish without crossing the timelines or blowing the budget.
