TRAVERTINE LOOK / OWNED-FACTORY PROJECT SUPPLY
For buyers who want the warm, layered character of travertine without specifying a quarried slab with natural voids, filler and stone-by-stone variation. Compare the actual full-slab pattern first, then confirm finish, face, format, thickness, batch and packing for the project.
01 / MATERIAL DECISION
Start with the behaviour the project needs—not the photograph. Natural travertine and a manufactured travertine-look surface can share a visual language, but they are not the same material and should not be specified as if they were.
A hand sample cannot approve linear movement, quiet zones, strong bands or the yield across several panels.
Use the project lighting to check tone, sheen, touch, water marks and cleaning—not only a screen image.
Confirm thickness, support, joints, adhesive or fixing, wet/slip evidence, fabrication and packing before ordering.
02 / PRODUCT SHORTLIST
These are the four products currently recorded in this collection. The table uses their Shopify product data, including finish, face and recommended applications.
| Current design | Tone & movement | Recorded finish / faces | Strongest starting use | Buyer approval point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roman Cave Stone Beige | Light beige, ivory and pale grey; calm vertical cave-stone movement | Soft Gloss 4 faces, random match | Lobby and corridor cladding, bright feature walls, bathroom walls | Approve the 4 face images, orientation and glare under the actual lighting. |
| Caesar Silver Travertine | Cool silver-grey; layered linear movement with moderate contrast | Matte 1 face, random match | Bathroom walls, feature walls and floors | For floors, approve the exact finish, wet/dry zone and applicable slip evidence. |
| Versace Beige | Warm beige and ivory; quiet, low-contrast movement | Soft Matte Random match | Bathroom walls, vanities and calm feature surfaces | Check the undertone under warm and cool light; do not judge it from a small crop. |
| Italian Red Travertine | Terracotta-red; strong vertical mineral movement | Matte Random match | Hospitality accents, statement walls and furniture surfaces | Approve shade, adjacent materials and the percentage of red used in the elevation. |
“Random match” means the graphics are not promised to form a continuous bookmatch. If continuity is required, send the finished elevation and request a face-by-face layout before production.
03 / CURRENT COLLECTION
There is no empty filter on this page: all four current products are visible. Open the product page for the full gallery, then request a physical finish sample and the relevant full-slab or face images.
04 / VEIN DIRECTION
Travertine-inspired graphics are directional. Decide the panel orientation before slab count, seams and cut planning—especially around doors, niches, vanities, screens and corner returns.

HORIZONTAL RUN
05 / RECORDED SURFACE FINISHES
The current four-product collection records three finish descriptions. Finish changes glare, tone, touch, cleaning and floor suitability; availability is confirmed per product and order.
ROMAN CAVE STONE BEIGE
CAESAR SILVER + ITALIAN RED
VERSACE BEIGE
Funtek’s wider product system also includes polished, silk/satin, honed, leather/textured and structured/relief families. They are not automatically available on these four travertine-look designs.
06 / SIZE & THICKNESS
All four current products record the same five regular slab formats and four regular thicknesses. The most economical choice is the one that fits the elevation, cut yield, support and packing—not simply the thinnest slab.
Custom formats can be discussed, but are not treated as a listed variant until confirmed in the quotation.
| Thickness | Start here | Do not approve until |
|---|---|---|
| 6 mm | Fully supported wall skins, light cladding and furniture skins where lower weight matters | Substrate, fixing/adhesive, panel size, edge exposure and handling are confirmed. |
| 9 mm | Supported walls, selected floors and furniture parts | Support, traffic/wet zone, joints and exact finish evidence are confirmed. |
| 12 mm | Preferred starting point for vanities, worktops and more demanding fabricated pieces | Cutouts, radius, edge clearance, seams, overhang and support are reviewed. |
| 15 mm | Projects seeking more section stiffness or a thicker visible edge | Fabrication tools, lifting, support and packing weight are confirmed. |
| 20 mm custom | Special production only; not a standard variant on these four product pages | MOQ, production route, finish, lead time and project economics are accepted. |
These are reference values recorded in the Funtek company technical presentation for the stated 12 mm sample group. They are not automatically a certificate for every colour, finish or production batch. Confirm the applicable report and sample scope for the project.
07 / NATURAL TRAVERTINE COMPARISON
True travertine naturally contains voids and may be filled with cementitious or resinous material. A printed/sintered travertine-look slab does not reproduce that geological fabric; it reproduces the visual direction.
| Decision | Natural travertine | Travertine-look sintered stone | What the buyer should request |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material identity | Quarried stone with natural voids and geological variation | Factory-produced slab with a designed travertine visual | State the correct material in the specification and sample record. |
| Variation | Each slab varies; filled and unfilled areas can behave differently | Faces and graphics are controlled but may repeat or random-match | Approve actual slab/face images and the proposed panel sequence. |
| Finish & care | Finish, filler, sealer and maintenance method are project decisions | Finish is product-specific; no natural-stone filler regime, but cleaning and slip suitability still need approval | Request a physical finish sample and maintenance instructions. |
| Edges & repair | Thick stone details and stone repair techniques may be possible | Printed-face/edge appearance and chipping repair need fabrication planning | Approve the edge mock-up, visible body and repair expectation. |
| Best reason to choose | Authentic stone character and natural ageing | Large-format visual continuity and a factory-controlled supply record | Choose the behaviour that supports the project—not the label alone. |
08 / APPLICATION DECISIONS
“Suitable for walls and floors” is not enough for a project specification. Each application below includes the condition that changes the decision.
Start with Versace Beige or Caesar Silver. Confirm waterproofing, substrate, panel joints, niches, fittings, silicone zones and cleaning.
Open bathroom guidance → 02Roman Beige gives a light architectural rhythm; Italian Red creates a focal zone. Send the elevation so veins, seams and corners can be planned.
Open wall guidance → 03Caesar Silver is the recorded floor starting point. Approve exact finish, wet/dry condition, slip evidence, substrate, joints, traffic and replacement stock.
Open flooring guidance → 04Use the finished dimensions—not the mood board—to select 9 or 12 mm, edge profile, support, cutouts, direction and transport protection.
Open furniture guidance →Coordinate arrival sightlines, luggage impact, housekeeping chemicals, lighting temperature, spare panels and the batch record before approval.
Best starting products: Roman Beige / Italian RedDo not place a decorative recommendation inside a firebox. Confirm clearances, substrate, adhesive/fixing, thermal movement, local code and the applicable fire evidence for the complete assembly.
System review required before quotation09 / OWNED-FACTORY CONTROL
Funtek connects the approved sample, slab face, batch, dimensions, inspection and export package to one order record. That helps catch visual and logistical problems before the material is shipped.
Sample, full-slab/face image, direction, finish and batch reference remain connected—reducing shade and continuity disputes.
The elevation, panel size, direction, seams and spare allowance are reviewed before the slab count becomes a purchase commitment.
Quantity, size, thickness, appearance, labels and visible defects are checked while correction is still practical.
Protection, rack/crate, gross weight, container plan and unloading inputs are matched to the order instead of using a generic “export pack”.
PACKING PLANNING REFERENCES
| Format example | Reference frame | Reference load | Area / frame | 20GP / 40HQ reference | Buyer value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 900 × 1800 × 9 mm | No. 1 U-frame | 90 slabs / approx. 3.0 t | 145.80 m² | 6 / 9 frames | Compare freight and unloading with a smaller-format, high-piece-count pack. |
| 900 × 2600 × 9 mm | No. 8 U-frame | 60 slabs / approx. 2.7 t | 140.40 m² | 6 / 9 frames | Plan long-panel handling and the receiving route before booking. |
| 1200 × 2400 × 9 mm | No. 6 A-frame | 48 slabs / approx. 2.7 t | 138.24 m² | 6 / 10 frames | Balance usable wall/floor yield with frame count and destination weight limits. |
| 1600 × 3200 × 12 mm | No. 11 A-frame | 26 slabs / approx. 3.6 t | 133.12 m² | 3 / 7 frames | Confirm crane/forklift capacity, access and replacement strategy for full-size slabs. |
Planning references from the Funtek factory packing instruction. Final pieces, protection, rack/crate, dimensions, net/gross weight and container count depend on the exact product, thickness, finish, spare allowance, destination limits and loading plan.

11 / PROJECT QUOTATION
Funtek does not publish a fixed project price here. The quotation is tied to the same design, specification, processing, packing and delivery assumptions your team has approved.
| RFQ input | What to send | Value to the buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Application & zone | Bathroom wall, floor, lobby, vanity, furniture, fireplace surround; wet/dry/interior/exterior condition | Avoids quoting a finish or system that cannot support the actual use. |
| Visual approval | Shortlisted product, full-slab/face reference, direction, finish and physical sample requirement | Keeps the delivered appearance tied to an auditable approval. |
| Dimensions & drawings | Finished elevations/parts, openings, joints, edges, cutouts, support and spare allowance | Improves slab yield and exposes fabrication risk before the price is accepted. |
| Supply scope | Format, thickness, quantity, processing, labels, inspection, required documents and schedule | Prevents material-only and project-ready quotes from being compared as if they were equal. |
| Destination & receiving | Port/city, Incoterm request, container type, weight limit, forklift/crane and unloading route | Reduces freight, overweight, breakage and site-handling surprises. |
We will shortlist the surface, confirm the approval route and return a quotation based on the actual supply scope.
