Cross cut Travertine

Cross‑cut travertine is sawn perpendicular to the natural bedding planes of the stone, which reveals more rounded, cloud‑like patterns rather than the linear stripes seen in vein‑cut material. Depending on the variety, cross‑cut pieces often display warm creams, light tans, soft golds and occasional hints of rust or grey, all blending together in a more random, mottled appearance. This softer, more organic pattern can lend a relaxed and timeless feel to many interior design schemes.

Because travertine is a relatively porous, softer stone, cross‑cut slabs and tiles are best used in settings that aren’t subject to heavy wear. Homeowners often select cross‑cut travertine for bathroom flooring and shower surrounds, tub decks, vanity tops, hearths or as decorative wall cladding, where its diffuse movement adds subtle visual interest. It can also make a beautiful backsplash or accent in a kitchen, provided it’s sealed properly and cleaned with a pH‑neutral cleaner.

Routine sealing and gentle maintenance are important to keep cross‑cut travertine looking its best, as the stone’s pores can absorb moisture and stains if left unprotected. With appropriate care and by avoiding abrasive cleaners or high‑impact use, cross‑cut travertine can bring the warmth and beauty of natural stone to your home for many years.
