General description
Travertine Classico D collects memories of ancient and unlimited strengths. In a single material the greatest energies of nature meet and unite. Each new block of travertine expresses uniqueness by itself, with the inimitable delicacy of its shades and the smooth natural patterns they create with fascinating results.
The cross cut enhances the surface uniformity and makes it perfect for innovative color and pattern combinations. Mixing and matching Classico D with other sorts of travertine or, ultimately, with other natural stones guarantee mosaics and tile patterns of astonishing visual effects.
The dominant color on the surface is light brown, as the soft, cloudy-like traces of the veining complement the texture with their beige and cream shadings. Its warm and enveloping shades turn it into a decidedly elegant solution both for residential and commercial spaces. There is no better place where to spend quality time with guests, or among family members and friends, than in a space that brings positive emotions.
This classic travertine is undoubtly one of the most resistant natural materials. It makes the ambience welcoming and fascinating, revealing the owner’s refined personality. In the genuineness of nature’s colors, it transmits the pleasure of experiencing refinement every day.
Applicable for both interiors and exteriors, cladding and paving as well as countertops and works of art, its bright tones liven up any corner of the house and transmit a sense of vitality. Many are the historical buildings and monuments in Rome that were built with Roman Travertine, extracted from the Barco Quarries in Tivoli: our travertine creates a link between modern buildings and history.
