Travertine shower tray: the elegance of natural stone
The travertine shower tray combines the texture of natural stone with high resistance. Unlike synthetic materials, travertine offers a naturally non-slip surface thanks to its porous structure. At Venetian Gold, you can find the most suitable material for your travertine shower tray.
Choosing this material means opting for an element that will always have its own unique style, thanks also to its colour variation, which makes each piece a unique work of art.
This will give your bathroom a sophisticated atmosphere.
Which travertine does Venetian Gold recommend for your shower?
When it comes to areas in contact with water, it is important to choose the right travertine to avoid problems with installation. Venetian Gold‘s selection focuses on varieties that guarantee compactness and impeccable aesthetics:
- Travertino Romano Classico: characterised by warm, neutral tones, it is the benchmark for those seeking balance. Its structure is ideal for “flooded” (clouded veins) or “counter-flooded” (linear veins) finishes.
- Travertino Noce: perfect for environments that require a more pronounced colour contrast. Its chocolate and hazelnut shades better conceal any limescale residues.
- Travertino Silver: for contemporary projects. Its silver-grey and titanium shades blend perfectly with brushed steel or matt black taps.
Technical advice: grouting with mastic or transparent grout?
For indoor shower use, we often recommend cement or mastic grouting in a matching colour to close the natural pores of the stone. This makes cleaning easier without sacrificing the natural appearance of the surface.
The beauty of travertine for your bathroom
The advantages of choosing a natural stone shower tray
Installing a travertine shower tray is an investment in the durability of the shower area, as well as an aesthetic factor:
- natural anti-slip properties: even with polished finishes, travertine maintains a higher friction coefficient than glazed ceramic.
- total customisation: unlike standard shower trays, travertine allows for customised workmanship (to the millimetre), ideal for out-of-square niches or extra-large dimensions.
- material continuity: the same block can be used for the shower tray and wall cladding, creating a striking “monolithic” effect.
- thermal comfort: natural stone retains ambient heat, making it less cold to the touch than synthetic or metallic materials.
Maintenance tips from Venetian Gold experts
To preserve the beauty of travertine, it is important to follow a few simple steps that only those who work with the material know:
- water and oil repellent treatment: before use, the stone must be treated with nanotechnology products that do not alter the colour but seal the micro-porosity against stains and limescale.
- daily cleaning: avoid acidic or aggressive anti-limescale products at all costs. A pH-neutral soap is all you need to maintain the stone’s natural patina.
- the importance of slope: during installation, ensure that the slope towards the drain is calculated with millimetric precision to avoid prolonged stagnation, which could, in the long run, darken the stone excessively.
