travertine is a natural material, which is formed by, in underground waters carbonic mineralization of calcium carbonate, the precipitation of crystals argonita and calcite. Simply put, travertine is formed in the long process of calcification. Most often, these limescale deposits occur in the mineral water exit locations on the surface where the water pressure is reduced and there is its intense evaporation
most obvious. example of lime, which is observed by many people in the underground caves is the stalactites and stalagmites. These same deposits of travertine can be seen in the mineral springs exit locations on the surface is Egerszalók (Hungary), Pamukkale (Turkey), Yellowstone National Park (USA).

our travertine is the highest density, therefore it can to produce a tile size 610h915 mm with a thickness of only 12 mm, which allows you to mount it directly on the adhesive without the use of expensive bearing systems
. The high density stone determines its low water absorption - only 2%, which means its high resistance to frost, so you can use our travertine for facades without additional impregnation hydrophobizator
Travertine has a rather large range of colors: white, yellow, red, gray, etc., that allows you to create the interiors and facades for everyone
