Grading Information
First/Export Grade/Oasis/Selendi:

  • Best color selection, without any gray or black colors in the tiles.
  • The tiles will be selected crate by crate to be consistent in color.
  • Tiles are double filled. The first filling is by machinery after the honing process. The tiles are then checked and any holes that still exist are filled by hand.
  • No large filled holes are allowed. Chipped and broken edges are not allowed.
  • The sizes and the edge bevel are machined to strict tolerances.

    Colliseo Grade:
  • Best color selection, without any dark gray or black colors in the tiles.
  • The tiles will be selected crate by crate to be consistent in color.
  • Tiles are double filled.
  • Large filled holes are allowed. Some filled holes through full thickness allowed.
  • May contain swirls or long striations (lines). 
  • Chipped and broken edges are not allowed.
  • The sizes and the edge bevel are machined to strict tolerances.

    Second/Commercial Grade:
  • Wide light/dark color variation, with gray or black inclusions allowed.
  • Defects in honing and sizing allowed. Small unfilled holes allowed.
  • No hand filling, large filled voids allowed , non-stop holes allowed (from the bottom to surface).
  • Cracked and broken edges permitted.
  • Delivered without any color selection or sorting.

    While many applications call for the more rustic look of the Second/Commercial Grade, always ensure when purchasing travertine products that the grade is clearly stated.
