Yes, travertine does absorb water due to its porous nature. The capillary water absorption of travertine is a significant factor affecting its durability and performance in various applications. The absorption occurs through the stone's accessible pores, and not the total porosity, While travertine's natural beauty and qualities make it a popular choice for construction and decorative purposes, it is essential to seal the travertine tiles when selecting it for specific uses to ensure proper maintenance and longevity of the material.
