The Origin of Travertine
Travertine is a porous natural stone that is formed from the sediments of hot springs. Turkey has one of the largest travertine deposits in the world. Travertine, especially from the quarries in Denizli, Afyon, Burdur and Kayseri, enjoys great popularity on the international market due to its unique patterns and durable structure.
Criteria
The quality of Turkish travertine is characterized by the following features:
Natural texture and variety of colors → With its beige, gray, brown, golden yellow and white tones, it fits perfectly with any interior style.
Porosity compensation → It preserves the natural appearance of travertine and provides a smooth and aesthetic surface after processing.
High durability → It can be used indoors and outdoors for many years.
Machinability → It can be individually adapted to the desired design by various surface treatments such as polishing, grinding, filling or drumming
The Secret of Longevity
Thanks to its geological structure, Turkish travertine is resistant to high pressure and external influences. These properties make it a preferred natural stone both for building materials (wall, floor and facade cladding) and for furniture designs (tables, coffee tables, consoles).
It is heat-resistant → It reacts insensitive to temperature fluctuations.
It is water and moisture resistant → With proper processing and care, it is durable in bathrooms and outdoor areas.
It is a material that increases in value over time → Thanks to its naturalness, it retains its aesthetic value for a long time.
