Coralina Travertine Effect

Yes, the Coralina Travertine Effect tiles are specifically noted as being suitable for both residential and commercial applications. Their durability and classic travertine aesthetic make them a popular choice for hotel lobbies, reception areas, and retail spaces where a high-end natural stone look is required without the maintenance demands of real travertine.

The Coralina tiles can be used on walls in wet areas, but you should check the slip resistance rating on the product specification before laying them on bathroom or shower floors. For walls, their smooth travertine-effect finish is easy to clean and resistant to moisture, making them a practical and stylish choice for bathrooms.

The 90x90cm format is a large square tile that creates an expansive, uninterrupted surface, which is ideal for making smaller rooms feel more spacious and giving larger rooms a grand feel. Because of their size and weight, they do require a well-prepared, flat substrate and are best installed by an experienced tiler using a suitable large-format adhesive and a levelling system.

Real travertine is a natural stone that features characteristic pits and voids, requiring regular sealing and careful maintenance to prevent staining. The Coralina travertine effect porcelain replicates the warm, organic look of travertine but is far more durable, does not require sealing, and is much easier to clean – making it a practical long-term choice for busy households and commercial environments.

To maintain the natural, cohesive travertine look, a warm beige or buff grout is typically the most popular choice as it blends with the tile’s tones rather than creating a strong contrast. If you prefer a more contemporary feel, a mid-grey grout can highlight the tile’s geometry while still complementing the warm stone effect.
