Travertine can scratch easily, but the scratches won’t be noticeable on honed or tumbled tiles. Unlike granite and marble, travertine has a naturally weathered look. Travertine is a polished stone that is durable, but to avoid damage you should take special care when you clean it. Sweep up dust regularly to prevent the debris from scratching your floors. You should also avoid dragging heavy furniture across your travertine tiles.
