Travertine is a sedimentary, porous limestone rock widely used in construction.
The travertine vary in colors, from white to beige-silver, from yellow to red, up to dark walnut. Their workability is decent: the surface can be smoothed, polished, brushed and sandblasted.
Compactness, toughness and elasticity, however, are technical features that make travertine the material suitable for a variety of uses in the construction sector.
Here is a selection of travertines usable for floors and walls, both external and internal and, in some cases, perfect for sculptures. The modern processing methods have exalted the aesthetic quality of the material that becomes more and more often preferred by architects.
