There are several things to take into consideration when debating whether or not you should install travertine tiles in your kitchen. For one thing, travertine is a natural stone so it may behave differently than others. One problem with travertine tiles is that they can be porous. That also means it can absorb liquids and stains if it’s not sealed correctly. Don't forget to seal well before laying the tiles. This will prevent the tiles from being stained by spills, which can occur frequently in a kitchen. Another problem with travertine t is it could be slippery when wet. For safety, choose tiles with a textured surface to prevent slipping. This will provide you with better grip as you are cooking or cleaning. Additionally, consider incorporating a stone sink to enhance your kitchen's functionality and aesthetic.
On top of the color and pattern factor, travertine can look like a vastly different home decor material all together. This can be great, but it also makes you think carefully about every tile before putting it in place. A mismatched look Mixing tiles from different boxes can be risky. To make sure everything looks neat, place the tiles before you start applying them. So you get to see how the colors and patterns play together.” Finally, take into account the weight of travertine tiles. They're heavier than a lot of other kinds of tiling, so your kitchen floor will need to be strong enough to hold them. If you’re not sure, consider seeking professional help. For Paia, I’d suggest that a careful consideration of these factors should precede any such venture. This is essential to keep your travertine tiles looking fabulous, but also for longevity if you want to maintain the aesthetic of the surface over a long period.
Travertine tiles are increasingly being used for kitchens and some interesting trends are expected out there. Another popular trend is large-format tiles. These tiles are larger than standard tiles, and can make a kitchen look more spacious. The less grout lines that you use, the sleeker and more modern it looks. We love this style at Paia as it showcases the beautiful organic patterns of the travertine. Another is a play of travertine against other materials. For instance, people are matching travertine tiles with wood or metal. This combination is warm and adds a lot of class to the kitchen.
Another trend is eco-friendliness. Sustainability is something that a lot of us want to follow through to the materials we use in our homes. It’s a natural stone, so it is suitable if you are hoping to minimize your carbon footprint. And it can help keep your home cool, a bonus on hot days. Lastly, with the growing trend of indoor/outdoor living, owners are seeking to seamlessly integrate inside and outside spaces. The use of travertine tiles inside the kitchen and outside on the patio made for a really nice flow. At Paia, we think these trends can inspire a kitchen that’s modern while still feeling warm and welcoming.
Installing travertine kitchen tiles can appear to be a daunting task, however by following these steps you will have beautiful and seamless results. The first thing you need to do is prep the surface that your tiles will go on. Ensure the floor is free from dust, dry and level. Level any bumps or indentations with a leveling compound. That will allow the tiles to sit flat and look good. Once the surface is prepared, decide on your layout. At Paia, we recommend dry-fitting the tiles prior to applying glue. That way you can see how they’ll fit together and make any adjustments that are necessary.
Now it’s time to begin gluing the tiles down. The floor should be fixed with a reliable tile adhesive for natural stone. Spread the adhesive evenly across the floor, and then seat the tile firmly. Make sure to leave a little space in between each tile for grout. Once you have all the tiles glued down, wait for the adhesive to fully dry. It normally takes 24 hours or so for this to happen. With the tiles in place, you just need to grout. A good grout color will match (or at least closely complement) your tiles for a seamless look. Use a grout float to fill in the spaces between the tiles with grout. Clean away the excess grout with a wet sponge, and allow it to dry according to the package instructions.
