White Carrara Black Marquina Tile Tumbled Bianco Pattern

Is tumbled marble the same as travertine?

Travertine is a natural stone, just like marble, granite, and limestone—in fact, travertine is a type of limestone, as is marble. (We know today that marble actually began as a limestone before it underwent metamorphosis from immense pressures and high temperatures over time.) However they are not the same.

What is the difference between honed and tumbled tile?

The difference between honed and tumbled travertine is in the texture of their surfaces. Honed travertine has a softer appearance and a lightly polished surface whereas tumbled travertine has a more rustic appearance due to its unfilled holes and unpolished surface.

Is tumbled marble good for showers?

ANSWER: Tumbled marble is great for the shower and your installer is correct as a general rule you do not need to seal it. Although, tumbled marble is more porous and more absorbent than polished. So, you can seal it, but it’s not really necessary because the risk of staining is so small.
