Ivory Light Beige Travertine Tumbled Flat Pebble Mosaic Floor Tile

Most mosaics are supplied on a mesh or paper backing that holds the individual pieces in position for easy installation. Sheets are designed to butt together so the joints stay consistent.

On walls and floors, including splashbacks, feature walls, shower areas, and borders. For floors, check that the specific mosaic is rated for floor use.

The sheets are bedded into adhesive like standard tiles, then grouted once set. Because of the many small joints, a slightly more flexible adhesive and careful grouting give the best finish.

Yes. Individual pieces can be removed from the backing, and sheets can be trimmed with tile nippers or a wet saw to fit edges and corners.

Travertine is a natural limestone formed by mineral deposits from hot springs and groundwater. It has a warm, earthy palette — creams, beiges, golds, and rusty tones — with a distinctive pitted surface and natural veining that gives it a classic, timeless character.

The primary difference lies in the surface texture and maintenance requirements. Travertine naturally forms with organic voids and holes caused by escaping gases during geological creation. Filled travertine has these holes pre-filled with a color-matched cement epoxy at the factory for a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. Unfilled travertine leaves these natural cavities open, offering a highly textured, rustic look that is popular for outdoor spaces but requires more effort to keep clean indoors.

Yes, travertine is a porous natural stone that must be sealed to protect it from moisture, stains, and dirt buildup. We highly recommend applying a high-quality penetrating sealer immediately after installation and before grouting, followed by a final coat after the grout cures. For high-traffic residential or wet environments, resealing every 1 to 2 years will preserve the stone's integrity.

To clean travertine, use only pH-neutral stone cleaners or warm water mixed with a few drops of mild dish soap. Never use acidic cleaners, vinegar, bleach, or abrasive scrubbing pads. Travertine is made of calcium carbonate, meaning any acidic substance will chemically react with the stone, creating dull, permanent chemical burns known as "etch marks."

Travertine naturally forms with small voids and pits caused by gas bubbles during its formation. Tiles come either filled (the holes are pre-filled with grout or resin for a smoother surface) or unfilled (the natural voids are left open for a more rustic look). Both are valid choices depending on the finish and setting you want.

Travertine is a natural stone, so shade, movement, and veining vary between tiles and batches. We recommend ordering all tiles for a project at once and dry-laying from several boxes to achieve a well-blended, natural look.

Yes, when properly sealed. A honed or brushed finish is generally preferred over polished in wet areas for better slip resistance and practicality.

Pebble tiles are natural stones (usually smooth river or beach pebbles) set onto a mesh backing in sheets, so they can be installed much like mosaics rather than placing each pebble individually. They give a natural, organic, spa-like finish.

On floors and walls, indoors and out — popular for bathrooms, shower floors, feature walls, splashbacks, borders, and garden or patio areas. For shower floors, the textured surface also adds grip underfoot.

Yes, the rounded, uneven surface gives natural grip, which is why they're a common choice for wet areas and shower floors. Bear in mind the surface is contoured rather than flat, so it feels different underfoot than a standard tile.

Yes. The stones are porous and there's a lot of grout area between them, so we recommend sealing before grouting and re-sealing periodically with a penetrating sealer to protect against staining and moisture.

The mesh-backed sheets are bedded into adhesive like mosaics, fitted so the edges interlock and the seams between sheets disappear into the natural pattern. Because the surface is uneven, more grout is needed and it's worked carefully around each stone.

They typically need more grout than flat tiles because of the gaps and contours, and grouting around each pebble takes patience. Pre-sealing helps stop grout haze clinging to the stones, and the grout level can be brought partway up the pebbles or kept lower depending on the look you want.

They're a natural product, so color, size, and shape vary between stones and batches. This variation is part of the appeal — we recommend ordering all sheets for a project at once and mixing from several boxes to blend the look.

Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft brush to reach between the stones, avoiding acidic or abrasive products. Keeping the sealer maintained makes the grout area easier to keep clean, especially in showers.

Yes. Sheets can be trimmed and individual pebbles removed or repositioned from the mesh to fit edges, corners, and drains neatly, which is handy around shower wastes and pipework.

Each box covers approximately 8.0 square feet. Measure the area you need to cover and add about 10% extra for cuts and waste.

Yes — for this product you can order a swatch sample or a full-size sample before placing a full order.
