Travertine floor tiles! Help please!

[DHTiling]

I am still waiting for a recommendation in the South West as I would really like to go and take a look first!
Just to save from any nasty surprises I suppose :yikes:!!

That is why i recommended PHG, they do not sell crap... you will NOT get better quality. trust me.

Dave, what do you think a 'good price' is for a good quality Travertine? I see everything from £15.00 to £50.00 m2 and from the descriptions, you'd think it was all the same!

A minefield unless you've seen a range of qualities over the years, I guess...

hi nick,15 pounds a meter will not buy you a good quality stone imo

on the other hand some one may well sell you a poor quality one at 40 pounds a meter and as you say you dont know the difference but thats through experiance

i would take the given recomendation of phg as a top stone supplier ,you will not go wrong

As Bri has said a high price does not dictate a good travertine.. imo a low low price will..🙂

Usually though 30 to 40 pound w ill get a good 600x400 ivory travertine or other types.. it i s when they start to tumble or brush finish the surface that the price will increase..

Thanks for the guidelines guys.

Sounds like there's a whole load of second rate quality travertine out there, being bought at OTT prices. But I guess it's like most things, if you don't deal in it everyday you're probably none the wiser.

guess your commenting on the price rather than experience? The tiles i had been looking at were ivory (£24.99m2) and noche (£16.99m2).

I am also waiting for tile samples from tile giant super dark (£36m2)and super light (£30m2) anyone used them and able to comment?

Thanks
Mike

Prices above are per pallet order..(approx 40+mtrs) and then you have a pallet delivery rate... not so cheap then is it..?... always try if you can to get at least a full tile as a sample.. but that still does indicate what you will get within a pallet quality wise.

all the trav ive used apart from 1 floor has been crap. i find the honed filled polished stuff, soft and really brittle,and they have paid between £20 and £40m2.
the best trav ive used is the tumbled and unfilled,seem a lot stronger,and looks the dogs as well.
