Travertine

Travertine stone is one of the most widely used natural stones in residential and commercial construction projects, as well as in gardens and villas. This rock is formed over time due to the hardening of calcium carbonate deposits from mineral springs or hot water. The natural forming process of travertine creates a porous structure with unique patterns and colors, adding to its beauty and variety. It is commonly found in shades of white, cream, beige, red, brown, yellow, and silver, making it easy to adapt to different architectural designs.

Advantages 

Travertine’s wide range of colors and good quality make it suitable for installation in different parts of a building. Due to its naturally occurring pores and cavities, it provides a non-slip surface, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas. Additionally, the presence of these pores at the back of the stone enhances its adhesion to cement mortar, ensuring a firm and long-lasting bond.

The porous nature of this stone makes it highly resistant to extreme cold and heat, making it a good choice for outdoor applications such as sidewalks, around pools, gardens, and villas. In addition, its color variety, durability, and strong adhesion to cement make it a preferred choice for building facades.

Durability and Maintenance

Although softer than granite, travertine can last for many years with proper care. Regular waterproofing of surfaces is necessary to protect them from moisture and stains, especially in high-traffic or humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

Due to its high porosity, cement easily penetrates the back of the stone, making installation on facades easier and more secure.

• High porosity: The porous surface of this rock can absorb water, which may pose design challenges in some applications.
• Maintenance Requirement: To ensure long-term durability, regular care and advanced treatments such as epoxy and nano-coating are needed.
• Acid sensitivity: This stone is not resistant to acidic substances and may be stained. Therefore, only non–acidic cleaners should be used for cleaning.
