Hi to all
I've had a little look around the site which is very helpful but I'm still at the deciding stage.
Just discovered Travertine and just loved the rough whitish tile I saw with holes and pits (guessing it's "unfilled"). My hubby thinks it might be unsuitable.
So, it would be for our kitchen and we have a dog with muddy paws in winter.
The kitchen has just been extended and half the floor has terracotta tiles laid on cement (rather uneven) - we've been advised to tile over the top of these. Other floor is the new bit and this is timber. We've been told to lay plywood onto this.
So would Travertine be suitable or not?
Also, with all the sealers I've been reading about, would they take away the rough almost chalky surface which I think is so nice? Would dirt collect in the pits and cracks despite sealing?
Can it be taken up the wall slightly to form a skirting board? I'm guessing would be too heavy to be a wall tile as such.
Also if it is suitable, any advice on best places to look for buying or anything to be wary of?
I'm cheeky and asking lots but any help would be much appreciated.
