Travertine vs Limestone | Countertop Comparison

Описание: Travertine and limestone are both great materials for low flow areas, such as master bathroom vanities, bath surrounds, showers and wash stations. Their soft, elegant look provides a level of beauty that will enhance any home. To get years of used out of these great stones is no problem at all with just a little regular maintenance.

Travertine is a form of limestone that is forged in mineral hot springs all around the world. It is known for its consistent color, long streaks, and elegance.

Travertine has a soft, elegant look is perfect for giving a relaxing vibe to any area. It is available in many different beautiful shades of beige, white, cream, red and gold. With the proper maintenance travertine can last for a very long time, however, since it is porous and vulnerable to acidic liquids it will require proper sealing. Travertine is best suited for low traffic areas like bath surrounds, bathroom flooring, wash stations and showers. It can also look fantastic as a kitchen backsplash.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate. It is known for uniquely having ancient aquatic fossils embedded it as a result of being formed in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. There are many limestone–forming environments around Earth, such as the Caribbean Sea, Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Mexico, around Pacific Ocean islands and within the Indonesian archipelago.

Limestone is slightly softer and more porous than marble, so avoiding areas that experience a high traffic flow, particularly with acidic liquids, is best. Limestone will look fantastic as a bathroom vanity or bath surround because it provides a “beachy” look from impressions left on the stone by aquatic fossils and shells. It typically comes in natural colors such as grey, tan or brown and has a solid overall appearance. Its visual versatility makes it easy to accommodate any design scheme, which makes Limestone is especially perfect for renovations.
