Travertine Quarry

Travertine quarries are the starting point of the natural stone supply chain, where raw blocks are extracted directly from the earth. Turkey is home to some of the world’s largest travertine quarries, producing millions of tons annually. From Denizli to Afyon, Turkish quarries supply the raw materials that are processed into slabs, tiles, and pavers for global export, fueling both modern construction and heritage restoration projects.

Applications

Travertine quarries provide the raw blocks that become slabs, tiles, mosaics, and pavers. These products are used in residential, commercial, and urban projects worldwide. Blocks are processed into polished slabs for countertops and cladding, tiles for flooring and walls, and pavers for outdoor landscaping. Quarries also supply stone for restoration projects, ensuring historical accuracy in heritage architecture.

Raw Blocks

Exported worldwide for processing into slabs, tiles, and custom stonework.

Slabs & Tiles

Cut and polished for interiors, exteriors, and luxury applications.

Pavers & Landscaping

Transformed into outdoor-ready materials for patios, pools, and gardens.

Specifications

Travertine quarry blocks vary in size and weight, typically measuring 250–300 cm in length, 150–200 cm in height, and 100–150 cm in width. Weights can range from 3 to 10 tons per block. The stone’s density and absorption rates (0.4–1.0%) determine suitability for specific applications. Turkish quarries follow international standards to ensure quality for export markets.

Extraction & Processing

Quarrying involves cutting and extracting large blocks of stone using wire saws, drills, and heavy machinery. Once extracted, blocks are transported to factories where they are sawn, polished, and processed into finished products. Careful quarry management ensures sustainability, safety, and minimal environmental impact while maintaining high production levels.
