Travertine as shower base?

[woodbutcher32]

Evening all, as the title suggests I'm intending tiling a wetroom shower base with 600x300 polished Travertine, will the finish be slippery underfoot? is there something I can apply afterwards to give a little grip? adhesive strips etc?

Didn't really want to go down the travertine mosaic route as I think it will spoil the overall effect.

Cheers.

Is it polish or honed..?

If you live in a hard water area this will be a nightmare to keep clean.

It's honed and filled (very little filler) as far as I know Dave, Enduro I'm pretty sure the water is soft round here mate, It never occured to me that it would make a difference!

Eta:- (21mg of calcium per litre) so soft yeah (you can tell wor lass works for Northumbria water)!

It will be fine on a wetroom floor.. Honed travertine has more grip that you think..
