The primary disadvantage of travertine lies in its porous nature, which makes it susceptible to damage from harsh cleaning chemicals often used in kitchens and bathrooms. This characteristic makes travertine unsuitable for use as kitchen benchtops or bathroom vanity tops. However, its porosity also provides a natural non-slip surface, making travertine an excellent choice for outdoor areas like pool pavers and floating decks.
