Hi Tiling Heroes
Please help me, I have just refitted my bathroom and getting to the stage of tiling. I would love to put in Travertine but as it's quite large can't afford it. Has anyone come across a tile that look similar ie. has a matt/sheen finish and is a lot cheeper?!

Hello and welcome.......

CTD sell a tile called travertine noche...it is ceramic and cheaper than the better quality natural travertine...but CTD do sell a travertine ( natural) for about £20 a mtr ...

Many thanks Dave, I'll investigate CTD.

never thought i'd say this but try b&q,several customers lately have had great looking tiles,stone and slate effect(stay clear of the 600mm squares though!!! though this doesn't apply to the east kilbride branch who stock hee haw!!!

you say it's quite large DH, but a m2 is a m2, regardless of individual tile size,have you got a price per m2 for trav (natural)?

Have you tried Tilechoice online? I have used their wall tiles and and very happy with them. Tempted to get some floor tiles from them but not sure.

Note to mods, I am not a spammer or affiliated with them in anyway lol. I know it is my 2nd post and am sorry if people have had bad experiences with them. My kitchen - marble effect tiles do look v expensive and weren't. HTH
