Ideal For:
Transform residential spaces including bathrooms, en-suites, kitchens, utility rooms, conservatories, hallways, and open-plan living areas into havens of Mediterranean warmth. The timeless travertine aesthetic complements classical, Tuscan, Mediterranean, contemporary transitional, and luxury spa-inspired interiors. Also perfect for commercial applications including spa facilities, boutique hotels, upscale restaurants, reception areas, and retail spaces seeking to create an atmosphere of refined natural elegance.
Technical Excellence:
Karndean Art Select represents the pinnacle of luxury vinyl engineering. With a robust 3.0mm total thickness and premium 0.7mm wear layer, Champagne Travertino delivers outstanding performance against daily wear, impacts, and moisture. Unlike natural travertine—which requires regular professional sealing to prevent staining, specialist cleaning to avoid etching from acidic substances, careful maintenance of grout lines, and comes with inherent structural weaknesses in pitted areas—this luxury vinyl alternative simply needs a quick sweep and mop to maintain its pristine appearance indefinitely.
Installation & Maintenance:
Champagne Travertino features gluedown installation, allowing for versatile laying patterns including straight lay, brick bond, or creative geometric arrangements. The larger 18" x 36" format creates fewer grout lines for a more expansive, contemporary aesthetic while still capturing traditional stone proportions. Each box covers 3.345m² with 8 tiles, making project planning straightforward. Compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C for added warmth and comfort—eliminating the cold sensation often associated with natural stone. The individual tile format means any damaged tiles can be easily replaced without disturbing the entire floor.
Design Inspiration:
Elevate your design by incorporating Karndean Design Strips between tiles to create authentic grouting effects or sophisticated geometric patterns. DS21 White Linen provides subtle tonal definition that complements the warm beige palette, while DS03 and DS14 add natural stone texture. For contemporary contrast, try DS22 Graphite or DS12 Concrete to create modern feature borders or define different zones. The warm neutral tones pair beautifully with natural materials including aged wood, wrought iron, terracotta, and natural stone accessories. Create a spa-like sanctuary with soft white towels and natural textures, or embrace Mediterranean warmth with warm terracotta, olive green, and sun-bleached blue accents.
