Canada uses split-face block in a beige tone instead of smooth-face block in gray. In both cases the mortar is only a hair lighter than the block color, giving both walls fairly monolithic appearances. Nevertheless the differences in appearance between each is certainly strong.
mirrors is a split-faced travertine from Daltile.
The tiles are all light (select) travertine: the textured stone is from Daltile: Baja Cream (Split Face) T720, and comes on interlocking mesh sheets. The 12x12 polished is from a local Houston supplier (I used polished on the wall and matte on the floor)
how the split face stone has worn in the shower? I'm contemplating using it like you have, but am worried about the maintenance associated with mildew, etc. Will a sealer take care of this?
of the split face stone and from what vendor did you source it?
think the split face stone is to practical in the shower due to this material not being grouted, This particular type of finish is not grouted inbetween each individual piece of stone so water will get behind it. You can spray a sealant on it but it will not seal where there is no grout.
The floors are fine

k and Split Face Travertine Backsplash
Cork and Split Face Travertine Backsplash - interesting.... maybe better for kitchen though
love split-face travertine and corks!
Like the split face travertine
1" x 2" split-face travertine tile mixed in with corks. Cut in half, the corks were exactly the right size to create a unique pattern on this kitchen backsplash.
