Default Travertine Tile

Hey if anyone local needs any Travertine tile or driveway pavers (probably the only place you can get these is from me), I can hook you guys up with the lowest price you'll EVER find for this stuff.

Let me know if anyone is doing any remodeling or anything of that sort, I'll hook it up.

Depending on the color, from $3.40/sqft to $4.50/sqft

Travertine pavers for $5.00/sqft

No offense, but that sounds about average for pricing. Is that price for just the tiles, or is that price with installation included?

Also, what is the grade/quality of the travertine? I'm not a flooring expert, so i don't know the terminology, but there are travertine tiles that had to have tons of fill, which will eventually (1 yr usually) come out (at least some) and need to be filled. The higher end stuff has very little fill, as the cut was done in a less porous, more solid piece of stone and will require less upkeep.

If I were selling commercial quality, yes this would be average. This is premium quality, filled & honed. The $4.50 is actually epoxy filled & will last forever.

These particular stones retail for about $10/sqft if not more. They're all top quality & top cut, no off sizes etc.

As an example, Lowe's sells the Noce epoxy filled travertine for $7.50/sqft

That's why I was asking about the quality. There are lots of places around here that will do that kind of pricing, but the quality is very poor IMHO.

Can you show a pic of the underside of a stone? that will give me a better idea of the quality, since all stones will be filled on the top.

How can one color match long distance? Is there a way to send you a piece of one and then you match it?

I'll try to get a pic of the underside for you tomorrow. Also, regarding color matching, try taking a pic first, might have something close, but you will never get the exact color matched.

The pavers are solid travertine 3"x6" and 1.25" thick



Right now I have about 3,500 sqft available +/- a few. If you want all of it, I can let it go for $4.50 & deliver it, otherwise it's $5.00

They can be used for walkways, driveways, landscaping or whatever else you want (fireplace mantel even?)

If you're going to be in the bellevue area at any time let me know, I'm there a few times a week and I can bring a sample piece for ya.

Here's the back of the Epoxy travertine. As you can see, very few cavities & they are all very minor. The lower quality travertine is full of large cavities and tends to fall apart very easily. The stuff I offer is premium grade.

I've got a chiseled french pattern travertine set for $4.50 / sqft

The pattern looks like this:


But the travertine is chiseled on the edges and not honed/filled
