Travertine, the return of a classical
Travertine is the rock that is on the top right now. This sedimentary stone whose use in centuries is perfectly renowned was practically disappeared in the 70’s, set aside only for coffee tables.
The search
of architects for new products with a malleable behavior, and with a sense of
nature, has put on the first step the use of the Travertine, as this rock can
be tailored not only for any kind of building use (wall claddings for façades
or pavement, polished or honed interiors) but overall for its plasticity,
changing the ambience of new stores into a museum look, or converting buildings
into timeless monuments.
One of the
most important values is the capacity of this stone to be use in big and home
projects adding the movement of this parallel veining and small holes and
playing with the warmly touch of this creamy rock approaching the architecture
to the human tall.
But we have
not to set our eyes in the cream background, new designs are possible with the
not so known varieties, with steel strips, breaking the smoothness with
hatchets of deep earth colors, arriving until varieties where the silver tone
covers all the ambience.
It is for
that that we suggest the use of Travertine for projects, no matter the type
chosen, with the confidence that this natural stone will fill perfectly the
expectations of the customer, the design, the art and the history.
