Design considerations
While Travertine is not an ideal material for stone curtain wall panels due to its low strength, high water absorption, and poor weather resistance, architects still often choose it for its unique texture, color, and style. Therefore, selecting Travertine slabs and ensuring maximum safety are important priorities. Stone slabs should not have cracks or breakages, and broken slabs should never be glued to the wall. Travertine slabs should also not contain soft streaks or weak mineral veins.
Product performance
Travertine boasts uniform lithology, a soft texture, easy mining and processing, light density, and easy transportation, making it a widely used construction stone.
Moreover, Travertine is highly machinable and provides good sound and thermal insulation. It can also be deeply processed and applied, while its fine texture, high adaptability to processing, and low hardness make it a suitable carving and special-shaped material. Additionally, Travertine’s rich colors, unique textures, and special pore structures offer excellent decorative properties.
Product classification
The most famous Travertine producing areas in the world are Rome in Italy, Iran, Turkey, and Spain.
Italian Travertine offers darker colors, distinct textures, and better materials. This type of stone can be polished and has obvious texture features, making it perfect for interior and exterior wall decoration, flooring, and various thicknesses of engineering slabs.
Iranian Travertine is a top-grade variety among Travertine, characterized by high hardness, uniform surface lines, slight variations, natural, noble colors, high plasticity, scratch resistance, no oxidation, deformation resistance, no radiation, and easy cleaning. Its natural pattern formed by fossils is revealed when sunlight shines on it, making it an excellent choice for interior walls, floors, washbasins, craft products, and exterior wall materials.
