Travertine porcelain is extremely popular in the design world — and not without reason. With the timeless beauty of real natural travertine and the long-lasting performance of porcelain, this new product is taking the market by storm! However, one frequent question still lingers: Can travertine porcelain be used both inside and outside?
At Banas Porcelain, we believe the answer is yes—and in this blog post, we’re going to tell you exactly why.
What Is Travertine Porcelain?
Travertine porcelain is a durable porcelain tile that mimics the appearance of natural travertine. It has the natural veining, textured finishes, and coloring that you would find in real stone—without any of the maintenance or weathering concerns of actual stone.
Indoor Use: Beauty Meets Durability
Travertine porcelain is perfect for many interior uses, such as:
- Living rooms and hallways
- Kitchens and backsplashes
- Bathrooms and wet areas, such as showers
- Feature walls & fireplace surrounds
Because of its water resistance, resistance to stains, and ease of cleaning, it is a natural choice for high-traffic and moisture-rich places in which natural stone might not fare so well.
Banas Tip: Opt for a matte or honed finish to get better slip resistance in bathrooms and kitchens.
Outdoor Use: Weather-Resistant and Slip-Safe
However, travertine porcelain excels particularly well for outdoor use. While natural travertine has the potential to deteriorate, discolor, and get slippery when damp, porcelain is:
- UV resistant (sunlight will not fade)
- Impenetrable won’t absorb water and crack
- Frost resistant, ideal for freeze-thaw environments
- Textured for easy gripping safe for pool decks and patios
Whether you are revamping a garden path, terrace, balcony, or poolside paradise, travertine-look porcelain offers the rustic appeal of natural stone paired with the hard-wearing benefits of porcelain.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Transitions
Blending the indoor with the outdoor One of the most significant trends in modern design is integration. Travertine porcelain makes it simple, being consistent in both design and durability. You can have the same tile from your living room extend out to your patio, creating a nice flow.
With several finish options and slip ratings available, Banas Porcelain’s Travertine Collection is perfect for a family that wants their outdoor and indoor to match.
Low Maintenance, High Impact
With natural travertine, however, you need to ‘nursing’ by sealing, cleaning, and the like. Porcelain, for its part, is:
- Scratch-resistant
- Stain-resistant
- Simple to wash with water and soap
- Perfect for high-humidity areas resistant to mold and mildew
This makes it ideal for high-traffic homes, commercial premises, and outdoor spaces where regular maintenance is challenging.
