Travertine
Travertine is a highly sought-after natural stone, widely utilized in various construction projects due to its distinctive porous structure. This porosity originates from the formation process of travertine, which involves the accumulation of calcium carbonate, often facilitated by the presence of organisms like algae and bacteria. These organisms contribute to creating pockets within the stone as carbon dioxide-rich water percolates through limestone or surfaces at hot springs, depositing layers of calcium carbonate. This deposition often captures air, carbon dioxide bubbles, and organic debris, which over time may decompose, leaving behind small cavities and holes. These features not only define travertine’s unique texture but also influence its durability and maintenance needs, making it aesthetically appealing and functionally versatile for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Travertine's adaptability allows it to be processed in various ways to cater to different aesthetic preferences and design requirements. It can be left with its natural holes unfilled or filled for a smoother surface; it can be tumbled for a softer appearance, polished for a glossy finish, or honed for a matte look.
Travertine is ideal for a range of applications including paving, flooring, and wall cladding, both indoors and out. Offered by MGT Stone Co., a leading wholesaler in natural stone industry, travertine is available in forms such as blocks, slabs, and tiles to meet diverse construction needs.

Yes, travertine is appropriate for areas with heavy foot traffic, provided it is properly sealed and maintained. Finishes such as honed or tumbled travertine are particularly beneficial because they provide enhanced grip and are more resistant to visible wear and tear.
Travertine, being a natural stone, is considered more environmentally friendly than synthetic options. While the quarrying and processing of travertine have some environmental impacts, its durability and long lifespan support sustainable construction practices.
