Travertine

Travertine is a sedimentary metamorphic limestone. It has a porous and cavernous structure and is presented with varied stratifications. Travertine is a native material of the Tivoli neighborhood, in central Italy, (hence the name), but there are also deposits in Africa (Tunisia), East (Iran) and South America (Peru) It has been used since ancient times for building materials such as the surfaces of decorations, cladding of facades and interior flooring, up to monuments, sculpture and architecture. The color varies from white to milky walnut, through shades from yellow to red. Often there are fossil footprints of animals and plants. Travertine is extracted from the quarry in blocks, which are sawn and prepared. Generally it is split with H-frame machines equipped with 4 blades in order to obtain straight splitting profile and guarantee an excellent quality of finish product, such as big cladding slabs.
