Travertine tiles in a wet area in a bathroom?

[gdmonty]

We are retired folk doing up a bungalow for easy access etc. Builder suggested wet area in bathroom - we agreed good idea - but what tiles best to lay on the FLOOR in the 800 x 1700 area? 'envelope' cuts in larger tiles (which we have already bought) doesnt sound good. One of us wants TRAVERTINE mosaic (its me!) but not the other. Would welcome any advice on experience with travertine in a shower/wet area floor -best size/quality etc - my partner is not convinced. For many years have had a terracotta floor in kitchen which is high maintenance so worry about that. Many thanks. Sylvia

Travertine is high maintance imo. Porcelain would be low maintance ,but will give a different look

I'd go for the mosaic on the tray

Stone is perfect for wet areas and IMO not high maintenance at all if correctly sealed..

cant beat natural stone imo, the finishes achieved are so much spectacular than anything porcelain or ceramic.

I agree - I have recently tiled a wet room in 600x400 Travertine and it looks great. If laid and sealed properly I dont see it as high maintenance at all. Good luck with it

I love stone, looks great if done correctly
