What kind of tile is Silver Travertine Mini?
We stock Silver Travertine Mini as travertine, 4.5x16. It reads gray-light. Travertine's open pores are the look and the maintenance in one: seal it, and keep vinegar away from it. Premium Black Mini and Sierra Blue Mini sit in the same style family if you want to compare.

Planning the wall
What Silver Travertine Mini works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 4.5×16 | 20 | none — set without grout |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 4.5×16, Silver Travertine Mini puts about 20 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall.
4.5×16 is large-format — any edge of 15 inches or more — and large-format tile needs a flatter wall than small tile does, so we check the wall before we quote it.
Counts are before cuts — outlets, window returns and the ends of a run all take pieces. The install itself, from wall prep to caulk, is on our backsplash installation page.
Silver Travertine Mini or Premium Black Mini?
Silver Travertine Mini and Premium Black Mini are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same collection, certifications, size and finish. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Silver Travertine Mini reads #81766B (mid, near-neutral) and Premium Black Mini reads #56575A (mid, essentially neutral), so Silver Travertine Mini sits lighter than Premium Black Mini on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Grout free
It sets without grout. Faster to install and nothing to discolor later, provided the wall behind it is truly flat; that is a pre-quote check on our side.
Certifications
What it holds: Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. Gold is not a marketing tier — it caps what the material is allowed to give off indoors, measurably lower than the base certification. It earns LEED credit as well, where a project is counting them.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Silver Travertine Mini itself, not from its name.
Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #81766B — mid and near-neutral — which puts it nearest Slate Blue in our pairing data. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.
Cabinets
- Warm White / Ivory — A slate-blue island in a warm-white kitchen is the safest color move in the book — enough character to anchor the room, never enough to scare a future buyer.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic
Flooring
- Ash Blond Wood — Pale straw-blond ash underfoot takes the chill off slate-blue cabinetry, landing the room Scandinavian-coastal instead of cold.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid

Questions about Silver Travertine Mini
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Silver Travertine Mini?
Silver Travertine Mini comes in one size, 4.5x16. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.
What color is Silver Travertine Mini, really?
We measured its own swatch at #81766B — mid and near-neutral. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.
What is Silver Travertine Mini made of?
Silver Travertine Mini is a travertine tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.
Does Silver Travertine Mini need sealing?
Yes. Travertine is the most porous of the stones we set. Seal it on installation, keep it sealed, and use pH-neutral cleaners only.
Does Silver Travertine Mini need grout?
No — it is designed to be set without grout lines. That installs faster and leaves nothing to discolor, but the substrate has to be genuinely flat. We check that before we quote, not after.
