Portland Stone Mosaic
Cross cut travertine in mosaic and hex formats.
Portland Stone Mosaic
Portland Stone mosaic tiles offer the classic travertine aesthetic in hexagonal and mosaic formats for shower floors, niches, and decorative accents.
Cross cut travertine has a gentle, cloudy banding that suits soft, sun-washed interiors, and Portland Stone Mosaic reproduces it in hexagon and square mosaic formats. Colours run White, Silver, Sand and Taupe, a warm mineral range, and the non-repeating faces mean a floor of hexagons scatters its pattern naturally instead of tiling visibly.
Genuine travertine is riddled with pits and voids that must be filled and sealed, especially in wet areas. As porcelain, this collection keeps the look and drops the upkeep entirely: no filling, no sealing, no worry about cleaners. It fits Metro Vancouver homes after a Mediterranean or classic look in bathrooms, laundries and entry accents.

Where Portland Stone Mosaic Works
Hex shower floors
The hexagon format is a classic for shower floors, with grout joints running in three directions for grip and small pieces conforming easily to the slope toward the drain.
Bathroom feature walls
A wall of travertine look hexagons behind a vanity or tub brings warmth and geometry together, and the Sand and Taupe tones soften an otherwise white bathroom.
Niche and ledge accents
Use the square mosaic format inside niches and along shower ledges, where the warm banding frames everyday items and the small chips wrap edges and corners cleanly.
Kitchen backsplashes
Travertine tones flatter cream, oak and painted cabinetry alike. A hex backsplash adds pattern that stays subtle because the colour range within each sheet is naturally narrow.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
Pair it with the Portland Stone field collection to carry the same travertine banding across floors and walls in larger sizes, then let the mosaic handle the shower floor and niche. The Tubac and Terravena collections make good neighbours where a warmer, earthier scheme continues into other rooms. Unlacquered brass or bronze fixtures, cream counters and woven textures reinforce the classic feel. A warm ivory grout blends with White and Sand, while a taupe grout suits the deeper tones.
FAQ
Portland Stone Mosaic Questions
Do the hexagons come loose or on sheets?
On sheets. The hexagons and square mosaics arrive pre-mounted, so spacing stays even and installation moves at the pace of ordinary tile. Sheets are trimmed with a normal tile cutter or grinder where they meet walls, corners and drains.
Does this need sealing like real travertine?
No. Real travertine is porous and needs filling and regular sealing, particularly in showers. This is porcelain with a travertine image, so the surface is already dense and waterproof. Routine cleaning with a neutral cleaner is the entire maintenance program.
Which colour should I pick for a shower floor?
Any of the four works underfoot since all share the matte finish. Silver keeps things cool and pairs with grey field tile, Sand warms up white walls, Taupe suits deeper earthy schemes, and White keeps a compact shower feeling light and open.
Can I mix the hex and square formats in one bathroom?
Yes, and it often works well: hexagons on the shower floor with the square mosaic in the niche keeps a common palette while giving each zone its own geometry. Bring your layout to the Richmond showroom and we can mock up the combination with actual sheets.
