Formed over many years by intense pressure and heat, travertine comes in a multitude of colors, patterns, and shades. The stone has colors such as walnut, cream, ivory, and many, many more. This makes it fairly easy for you to find a travertine countertop that will fit your particular style and home decor.

Like limestone, travertine has a remarkable resemblance to marble, which is another reason that this stone is so popular. However, the final appearance of travertine is highly dependent on which kind of finish is used. The four main finishes that are used on travertine are called shiny, brushed, matte, and tumbled. Of these four, the tumbled finish is by far the most common due to the added brilliance it gives to travertine. This brilliance is often what compels homeowners to seek out a travertine countertop in the first place.

Overall, the stone is well loved for its shine, variability, and color. Many homeowners choose to have travertine installed in their homes because of its popularity. The presence of travertine countertops actually adds value to a home and makes for a great selling point when the home goes on the market.

However, this stone does require some basic maintenance. Travertine has a tendency to degrade over time if not properly taken care of. The stone is sensitive to acidic compounds and if you cook with particularly acidic foods you should take the proper precautions and keep that food off of the counter. Otherwise, some basic cleaning and care is all that is needed to keep a travertine countertop looking its best for a long time.

Even with the well known weaknesses of travertine countertops, they still belong to the most popular types of stone countertops today. People have been installing travertine in their homes for years because of the shine and variability in pattern and color. The investment of such a countertop is considered to be one well made and many homeowners never come to regret having travertine installed in their kitchens.
