Travertine is a calcareous sedimentary rock that is mainly distinguished by its compactness. The bold grain and color tones are unlike any other material. At the same time, the high content of ferrous oxides makes it a ductile, compact and durable stone, so it is ideal for many uses in construction.
This stone, of infinite beauty, was used by the Romans to create works that are now part of our country’s cultural heritage, such as the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. Due to its unique color characteristics and technical properties that remain unchanged over time, this material has been widely used in classical and contemporary architectural works.
It is also a material with a good degree of resistance to weathering, which is why it is also widely used in urban design work, past and present.
Floors for exteriors should be waterproof, non-slip, frost-proof, and resistant to loads, weathering and temperature changes. Travertine meets all these characteristics and is ideal for outdoor areas such as terraces, gardens, stairways and courtyards.
Lapis Vitae’s goal is to offer its customers the widest range of processed and semi-finished products of all types of Roman and Tuscan travertine: a raw material that enables the highest quality aesthetic result in artistic and design projects, as well as for in fine building components.
