Cost
Six variables move the price more than the stone does.
Two quotations for the same colour can differ by half, and usually not because of the panel. They differ on face, thickness, edge, tooling and delivery term.
Travertine panel cost per square metre is driven by face (open pore or filled), thickness, panel format, edge and mould detail, the number of bespoke moulds, crating and the delivery term. We quote per project rather than publishing a list price, because freight and tooling move the delivered figure more than the material does.
What moves the number
| Variable | Effect | How to control it |
|---|---|---|
| Face | Filled costs more than open pore | Use open pore where cleaning allows |
| Thickness | Rises with section | 20 mm for bonded walls, 25–30 mm for floors |
| Format | Larger panels cost more per m² to handle | Use the standard 3200 × 1600 wherever possible |
| Edge and mould detail | Rebates, returns and curves add tooling | Standardise the profiles across the project |
| Number of moulds | Amortised over the order | Reduce the number of distinct radii and shapes |
| Crating and freight | Often the largest single variable | Compare quotations on the same delivery term |
Why there is no list price
A honed flat panel and a filled panel with a formed return and a bespoke radius are different products. Publishing one number would either overprice the simple work or lose money on the complex work, and it would tell a buyer nothing about their own project.

Questions buyers ask
- How much do travertine look panels cost per square metre?
- It depends on face, thickness, format, tooling and delivery term. Send the elevation and the area and we return a panel schedule with a price within 24 hours.
- Is cast travertine cheaper than natural?
- At volume, usually yes, because the tooling is amortised and there is no block selection loss. For a single small feature, natural can be cheaper.
- What is the minimum order?
- It depends on whether new moulds are needed. Standard shades and standard formats have a low minimum; bespoke patterns are quoted with a mould cost and a minimum run.
