Applications

Travertine facades are used in both residential and commercial projects to create iconic architectural exteriors. From luxury villas and apartment complexes to hotels, office towers, and cultural landmarks, travertine adds prestige and timeless style. It is also chosen for restoration of historical buildings where authenticity is crucial.

Modern Facades

Smooth honed or brushed travertine panels add contemporary character to offices and high-rises. Use 20–30 mm slabs with mechanical anchors.

Commercial Buildings

Hotels, malls and public buildings benefit from durable travertine facades. Specify ventilated systems for thermal performance and reduced maintenance.

Specifications

Travertine facade panels are produced in a variety of formats depending on project requirements. Standard thicknesses range from 20–40 mm, with larger panels anchored mechanically to building structures. Absorption rates average 0.5–1.0%, requiring sealing. Common panel sizes include 600×900 mm and 800×1200 mm, but cut-to-size options allow custom cladding solutions for unique architectural designs.

Installation & Care

Travertine facades are installed using mechanical anchors or strong adhesives depending on panel size. Professional installation is required to ensure safety and long-term stability. Panels should be sealed after installation to prevent stains and water absorption. Routine maintenance involves cleaning with neutral products and resealing every 18–24 months, especially in climates with heavy rainfall or pollution.
