Frequently Asked Questions
How is travertine different from alabaster?
Travertine runs warmer and more golden with stronger mineral lines. Alabaster is paler and more translucent. Choose travertine when you want the stone to read clearly.
Is it heavy for a ceiling fixture?
It carries real stone weight, so your electrician should check the ceiling box is fixed to a joist. That is a quick check before installation.
Where does it suit best?
Hallways, landings, bedrooms and bathrooms with limited height. Anywhere you want a proper material overhead without losing headroom.
How much light does it give?
Warm and even. Stone spreads the light across its whole face, so the room lights softly rather than getting one bright patch overhead.
How do I clean travertine?
A dry soft cloth once a year from a step ladder. Keep sprays and damp cloths away from the stone.
