Titanium Travertine Slabs Honed Finish

Indoor Walls and Feature Surfaces

Indoor walls avoid foot traffic, making visible color and pore variation the main selection issues.

Feature surfaces benefit from a dry lay that checks vein direction and panel placement.

Floors and Wet Areas

Floors need review against expected traffic, staining exposure, cleaning methods, and the selected slab.

Wet areas require separate assessment of filling, sealing, drainage, slip performance, and installation details.

Fabricated Components and Outdoor Proposals

Vanity tops and other fabricated pieces need approved edge, cutout, and maintenance details.

Outdoor use and demanding wet or high-traffic settings require separate technical review; the indoor listing does not establish suitability.

Full Slabs

Full slabs give fabricators control over vein orientation and continuity across adjoining surfaces.

Slab selection should account for pores, fissures, and usable yield before cutting, especially where visible edges limit piece placement.

Cut Pieces and Tiles

Cut to size pieces suit approved room schedules; tiles suit repeated formats and simpler quantity planning.

Both require a cutting plan that aligns vein direction and places exposed edges where the selected material allows.

Wall Panels and Custom Components

Wall panels benefit from a dry lay that checks vein flow across joints.

Drawing based components require confirmed dimensions, cutouts, and edge positions. STOOANCE can number fabricated pieces to preserve the approved layout.

Surface Appearance

Honing gives the brown and gray pattern a subdued look. Polishing increases reflection; brushing and leathering add tactile texture where suitable for the selected travertine.

Pores And Cleaning

Travertine pores may remain visible or be filled, depending on the approved treatment. Textured surfaces can retain soil in recesses, so inspect and clean trial samples before specifying maintenance.

Approve The Actual Finish

STOOANCE can provide samples and slab imagery for review. Any project performance requirement needs relevant testing of the actual finish and review against the intended application.

Dimensions and Edges

Finished dimensions should identify each panel, edge profile and cutout location. Confirm whether 18 mm is nominal or required after honing, then agree measurable tolerances for the selected batch and application.

Veins, Joints and Numbering

Vein direction and joint positions belong on the elevation or floor plan. For continuous or matched layouts, approve a dry lay and number pieces in installation order before packing.

Yield and Handling

Large panels and openings leave less flexibility around natural pores and fissures, affecting slab yield. Review fabrication feasibility, lifting access and local installation handling against the actual slabs and drawings.

Review Current Slab Images

Current slab photos or video should show the full faces and close views. Compare the brown and grey colour range, pores, fissures, and any fill or resin treatment against the approved sample.

Check the Honed Surface in Project Light

Honed finish appearance can shift with lighting angle and intensity. Examine the sample under the project’s planned lighting and agree on the acceptable matte appearance before approving the batch.

Record Approval Before Cutting

STOOANCE can support remote selection, batch reservation, and dry lay. Record the approved slab identifiers, colour range, vein direction, and any layout or dry lay photos before cutting begins.

Preproduction Review

Approved samples, selected batches and shop drawings establish the reference for color range, dimensions, 18 mm thickness, honed finish and edge details.

STOOANCE confirms which natural fissures and resin treatments are acceptable for the intended indoor use.

In-Process Inspection

Production checks compare cut pieces with the drawings for dimensions, thickness, flatness and edge quality.

Honed surfaces are reviewed for finish consistency, while color variation, fissures and any treatment are checked against the agreed reference.

Final Records

Final inspection verifies quantities, piece numbering, labels and packing against the order.

Buyers should specify the photos or video and packing records they need for review before shipment.

Traceability and Availability

Ask for the material source, current slab photos, batch identification, and available quantities. STOOANCE supports remote video selection and batch reservation; confirm the specific slabs before committing.

Fabrication and Sample Control

Send shop drawings covering dimensions, edges, cutouts, and vein direction. Check that the supplier can review them against selected slabs and retain an approved sample or batch reference for production.

Inspection and Communication

Request inspection photos or video showing finish, thickness, fissures, numbering, and packing. Agree on review points and a contact for resolving discrepancies; request current documentation when destination rules or project specifications require it.

Catalogue Images and Color

Catalogue images can hide batch differences; approving one alone risks a mismatched delivery. Approve the actual slab batch.

Brown and grey tones vary naturally; assuming uniform color can disrupt adjacent panels. Agree on an acceptable color range before ordering.

Veins, Pores and Fills

Vein direction changes the appearance of a wall or floor; omitting it can break the intended pattern. Mark the direction on drawings.

Travertine pores and fills remain visible under a honed finish; overlooking them can cause disputes. Agree on an acceptable appearance using the selected material.

Finish and Final Drawings

A honed finish must suit the application; specifying it without checking use can create maintenance or suitability problems. Confirm the location and care requirements.

Unfinalized drawings risk recuts and mismatched openings. Release fabrication only after dimensions, edges, and cutouts are approved.

Match Packing to Piece Size

Full slabs generally need supported racks or timber bundles sized for the load. Confirm restraints and edge protection before dispatch.

Cut-to-size pieces may suit protective cases with foam and corner protection. Choose the method against piece dimensions and destination handling equipment.

Label for Installation

STOOANCE can label pieces by drawing, room, elevation or installation sequence. Match each label to the approved piece list.

Crate records and packing photographs help the receiving team locate panels and check quantities without unpacking the entire shipment.

Confirm Delivery and Receipt

Confirm the packing method, Incoterm and unloading arrangements before approving shipment. Route and delivery schedule depend on the approved order.

On arrival, inspect packaging and stone, record damage promptly, and reconcile labels against drawings. Qualified local contractors normally handle overseas installation.
