Travertine Tile Advantages Continue to Woo End-Users

Travertine tiles’ advantage is that even if it gets affected by weathering, it acquires an ancient look. This saves on the maintenance costs at certain places. The benefit of using travertine tiles is that they are water and moisture resistant. Along with this, the flooring of travertine tiles is easy as they can be easily shaped and cut.

This makes the application of travertine tiles favorable in uneven places. Plus, travertine has the quality of handling extreme temperature changes. Due to this, they can be used in indoor and outdoor settings.     

For instance, Laventina, a key player in manufacturing travertine tiles is focusing on providing solutions that would suit a wider range. Initially, the end-users of travertine markets were historical monuments, palaces, and basilicas.

With time, the end-users have changed. Thus, the company is providing travertine tiles that can be easily molded for the interior of houses and other modern amenities. Another key player, Fels-Werke GmbH, provides a wide range of limestones that can be used for various purposes.

The demand can vary from demanding powders to tiles. Thus, the company serves the purpose and provides five different types of powder-like high-calcium lump lime, fine ground high calcium line, hydrated high–calcium lime, lime putty, and special limes.

What are Travertine Tiles?

Travertine tiles are a form of limestone that is created by the mineral spring, especially by hot springs. Travertine tiles have a concentric and fibrous appearance and are available in tan, white, cream as well as rusty colors.

Travertine tiles are created by the process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate. Travertine tiles are mostly used in Italy as building materials. Travertine tiles are terrestrial sedimentary rocks that are formed by the precipitation of carbonate minerals on the surface of the water, in the ground or in hot springs.

The word “travertine” is an Italian word that is derived from the Latin word “tiburtinus of tibur.” Modern travertine tiles are formed by the mixing of geothermally heated supersaturated alkaline waters with pCO2.

In hot spring, travertine tiles contain aragonite as well as calcite. Aragonite is created when the temperature is hot and calcite is created when the temperature is cool.

Travertine tiles are basically white in color and are also found in other colors such as yellow and brown due to the impurities contained by them. Natural travertine tiles are formed in various parts of the globe such as in Italy. Travertine tiles are also formed in Guidonia Montecelio and Tivoli.

In Turkey, travertine tiles are formed in Pamukkale, and in the U.S., travertine tiles formed in Yellowstone National Park. In addition, travertine tiles are formed naturally in several places around the world. Travertine tiles are most commonly used in building materials.

Most of the Roman buildings, which include temples, monuments, aqueducts, bath complexes, and amphitheaters such as the Colosseum, are built with travertine tiles. Most of the buildings in the world are built using travertine tiles.

Some of the notable buildings that are created by travertine tiles are the Getty Centre that is situated in California, Los Angeles, and Shell-Hausin in Berlin. The travertine tiles used in Shell-Haus and Getty Centre were imported from Guidonia and Tivoli.

Travertine tile are among the most frequently used stones in modern architecture. Travertine tiles are most commonly used for walls, cladding, facades, and flooring. The various properties of travertine tiles include natural finishing, availability in various beautiful variations, easy availability in the market, and a very reasonable price. Moreover, travertine tiles are the most durable materials that are mostly used for decorative purposes.

Other advantages of travertine tiles include strength & durability, gives a natural look to homes, easy to clean, and eliminating the need for maintenance. However, travertine tiles are relatively soft and can scratch very easily, which is among the disadvantages associated with their usage.
