Cemento Travertine
The tactile, quiet register of Tivoli travertine. Cemento keeps the vein-cut bedding soft across an ivory field, then uses sandblasting to add a finely stippled tooth while the natural voids remain visible.

No. 04.5
Quarried in Tivoli, Italy. Cemento is a softer neutral-ivory register, finished through sandblasted, honed and related Antolini programs.
Cemento sits between classical cream and cool gray — a soft ivory travertine whose vein-cut lines run gently across the field. The sandblasted face is controlled rather than rough: enough tooth to register on the hand, but dressed so the bedding remains legible.
Leaving the voids open preserves the natural vugged register and lets the surface absorb light. That makes Cemento especially useful on exterior cladding, fireplace surrounds, library walls, primary baths and floors where touch and shadow are part of the design.
Cemento is the quieter way to make travertine tactile. Pair it with lime plaster, terracotta, oak millwork and a darker stone elsewhere. We’ll show the slab in daylight and against the installation drawings before you decide how the lines should run.

Common Questions
Cemento
questions, answered.
- What is Cemento Travertine?
- Cemento is a soft neutral-ivory register of Italian travertine, commonly presented vein cut so the bedding lines run across the slab. The current Cemento selection is sandblasted, giving the surface a finely stippled tooth while the natural voids remain visible.
- Where does Cemento Sandblasted work best?
- Cemento is strongest on exterior cladding, fireplace surrounds, library walls, primary baths, floors and other vertical or tactile applications where unfilled travertine reads correctly. It pairs with lime plaster, terracotta and oak.
- Is Cemento Sandblasted good for a working kitchen?
- The current unfilled sandblasted register is not the first choice for a working horizontal kitchen surface because the natural cavities remain open. A filled-and-honed or Stratos travertine is the more practical direction for that use.
- How is Cemento different from Classico Light?
- Classico Light is the more neutral classical cream register, often finished in Stratos for a matte working surface. Cemento is softer and more neutral in tone, with a sandblasted tactile face and open voids in the current selection.
- How do I see Cemento Travertine in person?
- Royal Stone is at 2303 South Sepulveda Boulevard, West Los Angeles. Call (310) 477-3223 and we will pull the current Cemento slab for a daylight and texture comparison.
