Bring the purity and beauty of nature into your home with Travertine Siding. Offered in a variety of colors and surface finishes, travertine siding will become an essential part of your decor. These entirely natural products come in different colors due to the unique minerals and elements in the regions they are extracted from, making each piece as unique as a work of art. Compared to other natural stones, travertine has a more porous structure, resulting in a higher water absorption capacity. Without a protective sealer, this characteristic can lead to color changes and patina development over time due to ambient humidity and weather conditions. Like all natural stones, travertine can be used for many years without wear when properly maintained. Travertine natural stones can be found in colors such as beige, white, gray, yellow, brown, and red.
Travertine is extracted from nature in blocks and then sized according to the required dimensions. Afterward, the preferred surface finish is applied. These prepared travertine pieces are arranged by hand onto mesh backing, with each piece glued individually to form the desired pattern, then left to dry. Once dry, the mosaic or natural stone ledger panels are packaged. Being mesh-mounted, they can be easily applied to curved and corner surfaces as well.
Surface Finishes:
- Splitface: A guillotine-type machine applies pressure to the middle of the stone. The pressure splits the stone into two pieces, one side flat and the other side rough and textured. This process is known as splitface.
- Honed: A semi-matte finish is achieved by gently sanding the stone’s surface with machines equipped with special abrasive parts.
- Patinato: An aged surface appearance is achieved by treating the stone surface with machines equipped with special abrasive brushes.
- Filled: The holes and pores on the stone surface are filled with a special filling material.
- Tumbled: The process of rotating the stone in a drum to give the surface and edges an aged appearance.
By incorporating Travertine Siding, you can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home with a natural and timeless material.
