This cross-cut Travertine in Windermere was purchased and installed un-filled.

This gives the floor a less formal appearance, however it does make maintenance more difficult for the homeowner.

This travertine floor in Longwood had become soiled over a short period, mainly due to their dog coming and going. The grout lines were especially low and attracted much more soil than normal.
