Cheap Travertine , is it any good...?

[mmmadman]

Hi all

Costco wholesale are selling Trav 18 x18 4 pieces for around £15 which works out @ £18 a sq metre ish.

Has anyone seen or used it, is it any good? I will try and get a name off the box on Monday.

Cheers...:smilewinkgrin:

Any stone at that price is eco/commercial grade.. no matter what they tell you it is deffo a low grade.

Cheap travertine...is cheap for a reason.

Cheap travertine is a stone version of a crunchie bar...full of holes and will leave you with a sickening taste in your mouth if you use it....

Its nasty....pure and simple.

you can usually strain prunes through it. I can guarantee the bottom three tiles are not as good as the one you can see!

Ask if you can select the ones you want....:lol: Bet they say NO

You get what you pay for with stone i have noticed with cheap trav that when you seal it the colour seldomly changes with good grade trav when you seal it all the colour comes out

If you want a floor full of filler ask pebbs to sell you some tins of her filler so you can make your own
