Travertine floor covered in cracks.

I'd say the same as Andy Allen's 1st post there, but I'd also add that the travertine looks low grade, not suitable for external use.

I would say the travertine looks low grade and isn't fit for purpose as it has a high amount of filler . Had a customer get a sample of some stone like this once and it fell in half as they took it out of the boot of the car

id say travertine is the weakest softest stone you can get, the amount I've used that are a crumbling mess.

Just the stuff we're used used to seeing from the likes of Topps! The coloseum is built from travertine and it's lasted pretty well. Good quality travertine is a beautiful stone and great to work with. Pity there's not much about...

Some suppliers recommend their stone is only used for walls but still retailers sell it for floors

Back skimming to fill in the honey comb effect this Trev was probably full of May of helped......

With sort of product customers just seem to be buying 50 percent air

fixed correctly these types of stone should give a almost problem free Insulation for internal use

Almost I don't think is good enough. I just think it is to low grade. Even if back filled a lot of these stone still punch through from the front.

yes that's the almost bit 🙁 but is repairable.
