Showers curbs are piece of marble strip with 2 long sides finished and beveled. Window Sills are marble strip 1 long side finished.
If you were not able to locate prefabricated shower curbs, you can simply purchase a Travertine Sill from your supplier it and your installer will easily finish the second side at the job side. Since Travertine is an easy stone to work with, it would take approximately 10 minutes to finish (excluding drying period) a 60″ or a 74″ long sills edge with proper materials.
What you will need is an Antique White or Sand color unsanded grout. Simply fill the unfinished edge with the grout. Wait for it to dry for 1 hour. Once the side surface dries, simply sand it with a number 200 sandpaper and with the help of a sander, bevel the top and bottom edges slightly.
As you will see in the photos, you will end up with a beautiful Travertine Shower Sill in less than 10 minutes.
