We decided to go with travertine tile vs porcelain. Our contractor wants to charge us more. Does anyone know why and prices for installation of travertine?
 
Travertine is harder to install, must be flatter ie ledging on edges, needs more medium bed mortar and needs sealing afterwards.
 
Pretty much any STONE..........natural stone is going to require significantly more time, effort and talent than man-made ceramic/porcelain/quarry/mosaic tile materials of the same size and type.

Of course it should cost more to install.
