Travertine World

Travertine World is a UK based international supplier of bespoke stone products including stone baths, shower trays, wash hand basins and tiles.  The company recently featured at the National Home Improvement Show at Earls Court and had a fantastic response.  Director David Mirrow commented ‘The show was a great success for us, our range of totally unique custom made stone bathroom products was a great hit.  We’ve taken a record number of orders and our guys are going to be really busy!!

Travertine World specialises in custom made or bespoke designed applestone, travertine and limestone basins, baths, shower trays and tiles.  This is a top end product with price tags to match.  a typical natural stone bath can set you back as much as ten thousand pounds and then there is the matter of delivery and installation.  Bespoke natural stone baths tend to be cut from one pice of stone and are therefore very heavy, floors will usually need to be re-inforced.  Even the natural stone shower trays are really heavy but you might not quite need a crane to lift them.  Travertine World also have a range of standard stone basins and cloakroom wash basins that offer design and functionality at some incredibly competitive prices.
