The word 'travertine' is derived from the Italian travertino (itself a derivation of the Latin tiburtinus ‘of Tibur’). Its namesake is also the origin of Tivoli, a district near Rome.

Travertino grains range from 0.7mm to 1mm. It can be used on both interior and exterior surfaces and is suitable to create a natural stone effect finish (much like the popular Travertine tiles) either with or without created grooves to mimic tile joints.
