Anatolia Tile Ivory Travertine 4 x 4 Filled & Honed Natural Stone

Pieces this small are what make a shower floor work, and Ivory Travertine Filled & Honed, 4" x 4", is no exception: the mesh follows the fall to the drain instead of fighting it. Honed is the flat, soft sheen you get from grinding without buffing. It looks calmer than a polish and marks less obviously. Being natural stone it is porous, so it wants sealing when it goes down and resealing every few years. Acid is the enemy: lemon, wine and most bathroom cleaners will etch it if they sit. Expect a lot of grout with a sheet this small, so the grout colour will do as much to the finished look as the tile does. It is on display in Mississauga and Barrie if you want to see a full sheet rather than a photograph.
