Short answer: the five travertine-look tiles here are the most uniform family on the site — all five record Porcelain, and all five sit on the matt shelf. What separates them is the grain and the size. Two record a vein-cut grain running the length of the tile and are offered up to 600 × 1200 mm; three record softer, more diffuse movement and are offered from 300 × 600 mm. All five record a slip classification in their description.

1. One material and one finish across all five
Every one of the five records Porcelain in the Material row, and every one of them appears in matt finish tiles. No other look family here is that consistent: the stone-look range spreads six tiles across matt, honed and rough, and the fourteen tiles in the marble-look range record no material at all.
The product type row reads Travertine-look tile. These are porcelain tiles with a face that resembles travertine, not natural travertine, and the row is the place that settles it.
2. Vein-cut grain on two, soft movement on three
The pages describe their own faces, and the split is clean. Coastal Ivory Travertine-Look Tile is “A warm ivory travertine look with a vein-cut grain that runs the length of the tile.” Coastal Alabaster Travertine-Look Tile is “A silver-white travertine look with a fine vein-cut grain, for rooms that want texture without warmth.” Those two are directional: the grain has a way up.
The other three are not. Coastal Dune Travertine-Look Tile records “soft movement and a relaxed matt surface”, Coastal Mist Travertine-Look Tile “gentle variation and a matt finish”, and Coastal Stone Travertine-Look Tile “a composed matt finish”. A directional grain is a decision you have to make before laying; a diffuse one is not. Two tiles that look the same on a screen is about exactly this kind of difference — the one that is written down rather than photographed.
3. The two grain types are offered in different sizes
This is the part that makes the choice practical rather than aesthetic. The two vein-cut tiles are offered at 600 × 600 mm and 600 × 1200 mm. The three softer ones are offered at 300 × 600 mm and 600 × 600 mm. Only 600 × 600 mm is common to all five.
In joint terms: 300 × 600 mm gives 5.56 pieces and 5 m of joint per square metre; 600 × 600 mm gives 2.78 pieces and 3.3 m; 600 × 1200 mm gives 1.39 pieces and 2.5 m. Choosing a vein-cut face and choosing the longest format are the same choice here, and it halves the joint length against the smallest size in the family. How to compare tile scale runs the same arithmetic across the rest of the catalogue.
4. Three beige rows, two grey
Coastal Alabaster Travertine-Look Tile, Coastal Ivory Travertine-Look Tile and Coastal Dune Travertine-Look Tile record Beige; Coastal Mist Travertine-Look Tile and Coastal Stone Travertine-Look Tile record Grey. The colour row is a single word and the faces inside one word are not identical — Alabaster describes itself as silver-white and Ivory as warm, and both record Beige. Read the sentence as well as the row, and compare a sample in the room before committing to a tone.
5. All five record a slip classification — in the description, not the table
All five pages record a slip classification, as a line in the product description beside the finish and the thickness. What they do not have is the Slip-rating reference row that the specification table uses elsewhere on this site — three of the six tiles in the stone-look range show it there instead, with the added wording that it is something to confirm for the intended application. That is a difference in where the fact is printed, not in whether it was recorded. This guide does not repeat the figure itself, because a classification describes a surface under a test condition and this site does not hold the test reports behind it. What to confirm before choosing lists this among the rows to raise before ordering, and the checklist for your tiler covers who can actually answer a question about a particular place.
6. What these five pages do not record
Thickness and box coverage are Not specified across all five. Box coverage is the one that stops you turning square metres into an order: without it, a quantity has to come from whoever is supplying. The measuring guide stays in square metres for that reason, and the quote checklist treats it as a line to get in writing.
Questions people ask
Is this natural travertine?
No. All five record Porcelain in the Material row and Travertine-look tile in the product type row. Natural travertine is a different material with different rows, and this site does not stock it — the natural material on this site is the five pieces in natural stone mosaics.
Will the vein run the same way on every tile?
Two of the five record a vein-cut grain that runs the length of the tile, which means the tile has an orientation. The pages do not record how much the pattern repeats between pieces, so that is a question for a sample and for whoever is laying them. Comparing samples at home covers what to look for in a single piece.
Should I pick the grout colour from the chart?
A dried sample joint tells you more than a chart does, and it matters most at the smallest size — 5 m of joint in every square metre at 300 × 600 mm against 2.5 m at 600 × 1200 mm. The grout colour guide sets out the comparison.
Where these numbers come from
Checked on 9 September 2026. Every size, colour row, material row and face description above is read from the product page it links to; where a page records nothing, this guide says so rather than supplying a value. The two counts are arithmetic, not measurements: pieces per square metre is 1 ÷ (width × height), and joint length per square metre is the tile perimeter ÷ (2 × area), because each joint is shared between two tiles and so each tile contributes half of its own perimeter. A figure is rounded once, at the end.
