Travertine, or in Latin (Travertine) is a type of stone from the category of sedimentary and decorative stones. This stone is left over from the deposits of hot water springs. The holes in this stone are the source of sedimentation due to the space occupied by the gases in the hot water. The less elements soluble in the water of these sources, the brighter the color of the stone.
The amount of heat and altitude of the area also affects the quality of travertine. There are large travertine mines in Iran, among which we can mention Aq Dareh travertine mine, Zanjan, Takab, Ardabil, and Markazi and Abyaneh travertine mines.
Use cases
Due to its very high porosity, travertine is suitable for the interior and exterior facades of the building. This porosity makes the cement slurry penetrate into these spaces and act as a natural scope.
Travertines can be used even in very cold and rainy areas on the facade of the building without worrying about leaving the stone.
This stone can also be used in the interior for the following users:
-The exterior of the building
