Travertine coasters are slabs of natural limestone that sit under a glass or mug. Before you buy a set, check the stone, what happens to condensation, the underside, the size, the shape, the heat it takes and the care it needs.

1. Natural Stone Or A Stone Look

The Tufa Travertine Stone Coaster Set is natural honed travertine, a limestone, not a printed pattern on another material. Check the material line of any stone coaster: real stone has weight and a grain that differs on every piece.

2. Check What Happens To Condensation

A cold glass sweats. On the Tufa coasters the pores of the stone are left open, so that water is drawn into the surface instead of pooling under the glass and running onto the table.

3. Check The Underside

Bare stone on a wooden table can mark it. Each Tufa coaster has small cork feet underneath, so the stone itself never touches the tabletop. Look for feet or a backing on any stone coaster.

4. Check The Size Against Your Glasses

The Tufa coasters are about 10 cm across, wide enough for a large mug, a tumbler or a wine glass. Measure the base of the widest glass you use and leave a little room around it.

5. Check The Shape And The Set

Tufa comes in three shapes: circle, hexagon and square. Each set is four coasters in one shape. Circles sit softly on a round table, hexagons stack into a neat column and squares suit straight-edged surfaces.

6. Expect Natural Variation

The four coasters in a set match in shape and size, but the grain, pitting and small flecks differ on every piece. The top is honed smooth with the pores still visible. If you want four identical faces, stone is not it.

7. Check It Takes Heat

The Tufa listing says hot mugs and teapots are fine on it, as well as cold glasses. A coaster that handles both saves keeping a separate trivet for the teapot on the same table.

8. Check The Care It Needs

Wipe travertine with a damp cloth and let it air dry. Do not soak it, and keep citrus and vinegar away: acids mark limestone. If wine spills, blot it and rinse with plain water. A little stone sealer once a year helps.

Travertine coasters FAQ

Are travertine coasters absorbent?

Honed travertine with its pores left open draws condensation into the stone. That is how the Tufa Travertine Stone Coaster Set is described: the water from a cold glass goes into the surface instead of pooling on the table.

Do stone coasters scratch tables?

Bare stone can. Check the underside before you buy. Each Tufa coaster has small cork feet, so the stone itself does not touch the tabletop.

Can you put a hot mug on a travertine coaster?

Yes. The Tufa listing says hot mugs and teapots are fine on it, as well as cold glasses.

How do you clean travertine coasters?

Utrite ich vlhkou handričkou a nechajte voľne uschnúť. Nenamáčajte ich a chráňte ich pred agresívnymi čistiacimi prostriedkami a kyselinami, ako sú citrusy a ocot, pretože travertín je prírodný vápenec. Trocha impregnácie na kameň raz ročne mu pomôže lepšie odolávať škvrnám.

How big should a coaster be?

Wide enough for the base of your largest glass or mug. The Tufa coasters are about 10 cm across, in sets of four.
