Travertine is a wonderful natural stone that brings real beauty to its surroundings. This is one of the main reasons it is so popular for interiors and gardens. Travertine is a sedimentary rock made of calcium carbonate. It looks similar to tufa, but is less porous.<\/strong><\/p>

It is deposited in layers and forms mostly in hot springs and rivers. Most of this rock formed in the Quaternary, and today most travertine used as a building material comes from the north-eastern Mediterranean, where it is very common. One of the best-known travertine quarries is in Tivoli, and another well-known one is in Guadeloupe Montecello. Both quarries go back to the days of ancient Rome.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Did you know that Michelangelo chose travertine for the outer stone ribs of the dome of St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican? If we look further back in history, we see that the Romans also used travertine to build temples, aqueducts, monuments, public baths and large amphitheatres such as the Colosseum.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Travertine is one of the natural stones used to pave walkways and garden paths. It is a type of limestone, not marble. It is known for the many small holes and hollows in its surface. Although these hollows are natural, their walls are coated, so water does not pass through them into the stone. Its surface can be finished in different ways, giving polished, honed, matt or sandblasted stone. Each of these can give your home a different look, depending on your taste and wishes. Polished travertine, for example, looks more formal, while travertine with holes gives a retro feel. This natural stone is also easy to cut and shape.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you want a quality natural look but do not want to spend a lot of money, travertine is a great choice. Because it comes in many forms, from very small pieces to large slabs, it is used for many architectural features such as floors, mosaics, kitchen tables, fireplaces, mirrors, sinks and more. As mentioned, travertine is a natural stone, so no two pieces are the same. Its porous texture means it is not slippery, which makes it ideal for garden paths and pool surrounds. It also suits bathrooms very well, because it absorbs water and moisture and is very hard-wearing. That is why it will last much longer than most other materials. Another of its many advantages is that travertine is easy to care for. All you need to do is wipe it now and then with a damp cloth to remove dust.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Travertine lets you create both modern and rustic settings. The different minerals in it give this stone a beautiful range of earthy colours and shades, from light ivory to honey and dark brown. Travertine is never a single colour, and these shades are warmer, more interesting and more varied. Its soft natural colours can give outdoor and garden features an elegant, Mediterranean look. Travertine also does not lose its colour, so the beauty of your garden or interior will not fade over time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
