Of the disadvantages of travertine stone
One of the disadvantages of travertine stone is its lack of uniformity in color and design as well as its low resistance to cold. If the travertine is wet and the ambient temperature reaches the freezing temperature, this instant rock will crumble and therefore cover the travertine piles in the cold air for long periods of time.
Another disadvantage of Travertine stone is its relatively high water absorption. This defect also reduces the amount of water absorbed by the resin market and is used during processing and polishing, making the stone less dirty. Therefore, the quality of the sub and resin used during processing have a significant impact on the durability and beauty of Travertine stone.
Travertine has thermal and acoustic insulation properties due to its cavities. Travertine stone has an acceptable strength. This stone can be cut into three undulating shapes. Of all the types of travertine, white travertine, which has more uniform color veins and porosity, has the highest quality.
The reason for the presence of light travertines can be attributed to the presence of scattered iron oxide pigments in the travertine rocks. The beautiful appearance of travertines is due to the difference in the amount of iron oxide in its various layers.
What is related to the price of travertine stone in Iranian stone market is the most important parameter is that the closer the color of the stone to the brighter colors, the more expensive it will be.

The difference between travertine and marble The difference between travertine and marble
The price of natural travertine is usually higher than that of marble, but natural marble has a higher price for flooring. Costs vary, of course, with the quality of the stone. Each square meter of stone can cost between $ 2,000 and $ 2,000.
The marble texture is very smooth and is polished to a glossy state. The stone tends to have a bit of a glittering glitter too. Travertine is apparently porous, and it looks more natural and textured. However, when firmly adhered, the travertine plaque should be smooth and suitable for the floor or as a bathroom flooring. The stone is relatively soft and water absorbent, so a multilayer resin should be used to prevent water from penetrating the rock.
Travertine colors are typically warm and range from white or cream to beige, golden, brown and even red. Although marble is sometimes monochrome, it is often a color with other streaks running through it. , Like white with gray or black veins.
