Travertino is manufactured in Italy using Almatec technology which produces a through color porcelain slab. The slab is then cut into required sizes before firing. This guarantees perfect modularity and an appearance that is far superior to that produced by using traditional methods..... Because photographic lighting and computer monitors may affect the look of our tile, we do not recommend placing orders based solely on the images shown. Please request a current sample from your Stone Tile representative.
