About Travertine
Travertine is a form of limestone deposited thousands of years ago by hot and cold mineral springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric appearance. it in found in three main colours white, beige and brown. It is formed by a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the mouth of hot springs.
Algae and other small organisms often colonise the surface of the travertine during the formation and are preserved in the stone giving travertine its distinctive porosity.
This porosity is graded at the factory during the selection process. The high the porosity the lower the grade of travertine. Travertine is also graded on the colour variance within the stone. Premium grade travertine tiles have a very low porosity and variance in colour, where as a commercial grade travertine like this one has a higher porosity and colour variation. This results in a much larger amount of visible resin filler in the surface of the travertine and a much larger colour range on the surface.??????
