Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 2 - 5%
- Density:
- 2480 - 2620 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength:
- 8 - 10 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 60 - 70 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a sophisticated natural stone characterized by a harmonious blend of warm brown, golden grey, and soft earthy tones that create a rich and elegant appearance. The stone typically displays a light to medium brown background with subtle grey and beige undertones, occasionally accented by delicate linear movement and naturally occurring cloudy variations that enhance its visual depth. Its surface may feature the characteristic pores and cavities typical of travertine, which can be filled or left natural depending on the desired finish. Structurally, Brown Aquian Travertine has a layered sedimentary composition with a fine- to medium-grained texture, offering a refined yet organic aesthetic. The stone can appear in both vein-cut and cross-cut patterns, producing either flowing linear veins or softer cloud-like formations across the slabs
Description
Brown Aquian Travertine is a sophisticated natural stone with a blend of warm brown, golden grey, and earthy tones. It features a light to medium brown background with grey and beige undertones. The stone's visual depth is enhanced by its linear movements and natural cloudy variations. Characteristic pores and cavities in the travertine can be either filled or left natural. It has a layered sedimentary composition and a fine- to medium-grained texture. Available in both vein-cut and cross-cut patterns, it exhibits either linear veins or cloud-like formations.
