Roman Striato Travertine
Roman Striato Travertine is a premier Italian travertine distinguished by its pronounced horizontal striations. An earthy warm background provides the canvas for grey horizontal veins that flow rhythmically across each slab—the distinctive “striato” (striped) patterning that gives this stone its name. It’s travertine with genuine character and authentic Italian heritage.
Quarried in the heart of Italy from notable quarries in the outer regions of Rome, this stone carries centuries of architectural legacy. Italian travertine has been a prized building material since ancient times, gracing iconic monuments including the Colosseum. Roman Striato brings that same enduring elegance to contemporary Australian interiors.
What sets Roman Striato apart from other travertines is its more pronounced linear movement. The grey veining against the warm background creates stronger visual rhythm than subtler varieties, making it particularly effective for expansive surfaces where the horizontal patterning can truly shine. The vein cut accentuates this natural flow beautifully.
Best For: Feature walls, flooring, wall cladding, bathroom applications, fireplace surrounds, commercial fitouts
Roman Striato pairs beautifully with warm timber, wrought iron, brass fixtures, and Mediterranean-inspired elements. The filled finish provides a smoother surface, while unfilled retains authentic travertine texture and character.
As with all travertine, regular sealing (every 1-2 years) protects the stone’s porous surface.
