The natural stone travertine, also known as "stone from Tivoli", is a Limestone from the Mediterranean regionThe typical beige surface conveys a Mediterranean atmosphere and puts us in a pleasant vacation mood. Travertine is formed in the Mediterranean region by erosion from water containing CO2 and is available as limestone in light shades - yellow, brown, beige or red - and various patterns.

Limestone is often used for Travertine tiles indoors and outdoors used. Also for Terrace tiles outdoors this stone is perfect. Travertine remains pleasantly cool despite hot temperatures and is highly resistant and weatherproof.

Travertines are sedimentary rocks and consist almost exclusively of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). As soft rocks, they are clearly layered (often with varying degrees of coloration), solid and polishable rocks that show banding when cut in the direction of bedding. Limestone tuffs are similar to travertine, but do not show this layering. 

The more or less porous limestone was chemically precipitated from (mainly cold) freshwater springs near older marble or limestone deposits (carbonate) as spring lime. Younger travertine formations occur in areas with volcanism or post-volcanic emission of carbon dioxide, especially those with high-temperature waters, such as in Turkey (Pamukkale).
