Interior-Exterior Dark Gray Travertine Natural Stone Veneer Flexible Wall Tile
Genuine Travertine in a Deep, Cool Dark Gray. Paper-Thin Flexible Stone Veneer Sheets That Cut with a Utility Knife and Bond Directly to Any Wall Surface, Indoors or Out.
The Dark Gray Travertine Natural Stone Veneer Flexible Wall Tile is the boldest, most dramatic color in the travertine veneer lineup. Each sheet is made from genuine composite clay travertine and measures 24" x 47" at just 1.5mm thick, with a mesh backing that keeps the stone flexible and ready to bond cleanly with standard wall tile cement or mortar. No tile saw required: cut to fit with a utility knife or blade.
Each box contains 3 sheets and covers 23.5 sq ft. The Dark Gray color brings a deep, cool-toned stone surface with subtle blue-gray undertones and natural veining: a finish that pairs with concrete, brushed metal, matte black fixtures, and contemporary architectural materials. Whether you are creating a dramatic accent wall, a moody bathroom feature, an upscale fireplace surround, or a bold exterior facade, Dark Gray delivers a look that is unmistakably modern and distinctly premium. Suitable for interior and exterior applications.
Why Flexible Stone Veneer
Traditional travertine tile is heavy, requires a tile saw to cut, and demands professional-level installation on a perfectly prepared substrate. Flexible stone veneer is a different category: the same genuine travertine stone, split to paper-thin sheets and backed with fiberglass mesh. The result is a material that installs like tile without the weight or the equipment. Each sheet weighs a fraction of conventional stone, cuts clean with a utility knife, and bonds to walls using standard tile cement or mortar. You get authentic travertine texture, color, and variation with a significantly more manageable installation process.
- Genuine composite clay travertine: natural stone, not a synthetic imitation
- Flexible sheets conform to slightly curved or uneven wall surfaces
- 1.5mm thin: dramatically lighter than conventional stone tile
- Mesh backing holds the stone sheets stable during handling and installation
- Cuts with a utility knife: no tile saw, no wet saw, no specialty tools
- Interior and exterior rated: suitable for wet areas, high-traffic surfaces, and outdoor walls
- Installs with standard wall tile cement or mortar
Dark Gray: Bold, Cool, and Contemporary
Dark Gray is the most dramatic option in the travertine veneer color range. The deep, cool-toned surface carries subtle blue-gray undertones and natural stone veining that gives it depth without looking flat or painted. Each sheet has the natural variation inherent to genuine travertine, so no two sections of wall look identical. The result is a surface that reads as intentional and high-end: not a gray paint job, but genuine stone with the texture and character to match. It pairs naturally with polished concrete floors, exposed steel and iron, matte black hardware, white walls, and the kind of contemporary or industrial design vocabulary where contrast and material weight matter.

Interior and Exterior Applications
These tiles are rated for both interior and exterior use. The composite clay travertine is resistant to moisture, heat, and surface wear, making it suitable for wet interior environments (showers, backsplashes, bathroom walls) and exposed exterior surfaces (outdoor accent walls, facade cladding, pool surrounds). For wet interior areas, use cement board as the substrate rather than drywall. Optional sealing after installation can further protect the stone surface from moisture and staining, particularly in high-contact areas.

Installation Overview
These sheets install using standard wall tile cement or mortar and a notched trowel. A general installation sequence:
- Clean the wall surface thoroughly: dry, free from dust, grease, and loose material. Repair any cracks before tiling. Use cement board as the substrate in wet areas.
- Plan your layout before starting. Account for corners, edges, and any decorative pattern you want to create.
- Apply adhesive to the back of each sheet using a notched trowel for even coverage.
- Press each sheet firmly against the wall, starting from the bottom and working upward. Use tile spacers to maintain consistent grout joints.
- Cut to fit using a utility knife or sharp blade. No tile saw needed.
- Allow the adhesive to cure fully per manufacturer instructions before grouting. Dark gray or charcoal grout creates a seamless, monolithic stone look; lighter gray grout adds definition between sheets.
- Sealing is optional. Apply a suitable natural stone sealer if the surface will be exposed to heavy moisture or frequent contact.
- Clean installed tiles with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Dark Gray compare to the other travertine colors?
A: Dark Gray is the deepest, most dramatic color in the lineup. It has a cool, dark tone with subtle blue-gray undertones and natural veining, making it ideal for contemporary, industrial, and high-contrast design applications. Pure White is the brightest and cleanest option, and Off White falls in between with warm ivory tones and more rustic stone character. A 6" swatch sample is available for $2.99 to compare colors before ordering.
Q: Is this real stone or a manufactured product?
A: These are made from genuine composite clay travertine: real stone cut to very thin veneer sheets and backed with fiberglass mesh. Each sheet has the natural variation in tone and veining that is characteristic of authentic stone. It is not a ceramic, porcelain, vinyl, or synthetic imitation.
Q: What makes this "flexible"?
A: The travertine is cut to just 1.5mm thickness and backed with a fiberglass mesh. At this thickness the stone can flex slightly, conforming to moderately curved or uneven surfaces without cracking. It is real stone, just extremely thin.
Q: Do I need a tile saw to cut these?
A: No. These sheets cut cleanly with a utility knife or sharp blade. Score and snap for straight cuts; scissors work for curved or more complex shapes. No wet saw or tile saw needed.
Q: What adhesive should I use?
A: Use a high-quality wall tile cement or mortar appropriate for natural stone veneer. Apply with a notched trowel for even coverage. In wet areas, use a mortar rated for wet environments.
Q: Can these be used in a shower or bathroom?
A: Yes. The material is suitable for wet interior environments. Use cement board as the substrate in wet areas rather than standard drywall. Seal the tiles with a natural stone sealer for added moisture protection in high-contact wet areas.
Q: Can these be used outdoors?
A: Yes. These tiles are rated for both interior and exterior use. Make sure the adhesive and grout you select are also rated for exterior conditions and temperature exposure in your climate.
Q: Do I need to seal the tiles?
A: Sealing is optional. For dry interior feature walls it is not required. For wet areas, high-traffic surfaces, or outdoor use, a natural stone sealer adds protection against moisture and staining. Use a sealer rated for natural travertine and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Q: How do I calculate how many boxes to order?
A: Each box covers 23.5 sq ft. Measure the total wall area, divide by 23.5, then add 10-15% for cut waste. Round up to the nearest whole box.
Q: What grout should I use with Dark Gray?
A: Dark gray or charcoal grout creates a seamless, monolithic stone look where the joints nearly disappear. A medium or light gray grout adds visible definition between sheets. Avoid very light or white grout unless a high-contrast joint line is a deliberate design choice. Use a grout sealer after application in wet environments.
Q: How do I clean the tiles after installation?
A: Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon-based), abrasive pads, or harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the stone surface or strip any applied sealant.
Q: Can I order a sample before committing to a full order?
A: Yes. A 6" swatch sample is available for $2.99 so you can confirm the color in your space and compare it against Pure White and Off White before ordering a full box.
Q: Is free shipping included?
A: Yes, free shipping within the contiguous United States.
Q: Do you have a showroom where I can see this product in person?
A: Yes: 10926 Woodside Ave Suite A, Santee, CA 92071. Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm.
