Travertine is one of the world's oldest building materials and certainly has stood the test of time - just look at the Coliseum in Rome. In today's construction, travertine is used for flooring, cladding on buildings, wall coverings, counter tops, fireplaces, pavement and many other places.

Travertine is a calcium carbonated rock that belongs to the limestone family. It is formed by minerals that dissolved into the ground water and then being deposited on the earth by riverbeds, springs and geysers. The hot water passes through the limestone beds and takes the calcium to the surface. When the water evaporates the calcium crystals are left on the surface. The characteristic holes in travertine are the result of gas bubbles trapped as the stone was being formed.

 

     

Filling of Travertine

Travertine may be obtained with its normal voids unfilled or filled.

Filled stone is when the factory actually fills the stone with cement mix or polyester resins and closes any holes in the stone.

Unfilled stone does not have the cement fill by the factory and it keep the natural looks of the stone.

 
     

Cut Types

There are two ways to cut the stone that will give dramatically different patterns;

Vein Cut: The stone is cut against the bedding plains which lets you see the natural veins that are formed in the stone. The veins of the stone can be uneven due to earth movements.

Cross Cut: The stone is cut parallel to the bedding plane, resulted in a flowery or cloudy image. The vein is not visible
