Romano Volubilis Ivory Color Travertine Blocks

Stone Information

Travertine, also known as Travertino Romano or Travertin Volubilis in Morocco, is a natural stone with a rich architectural heritage. Extracted from the Middle Atlas region, this travertine is characterized by its warm beige and cream tones, occasionally accented by light grey or golden veins. The stone’s porous structure, with naturally formed holes and linear textures, gives it a distinctive appearance that adds a touch of timeless elegance to any project.

Travertine is highly valued for both its aesthetic and practical properties. Its natural texture can be enhanced or softened through various finishes, including polished, honed, brushed, or filled. This versatility allows it to fit seamlessly into a wide range of architectural styles, from rustic to contemporary.

The stone is often used in large-scale architectural projects, including flooring, wall cladding, columns, facades, and pool areas. Its non-slip properties, particularly in a tumbled or brushed finish, make it an excellent choice for outdoor applications such as patios and pool decks. Travertine is also known for its excellent thermal properties, staying cool underfoot in warm climates, which further enhances its suitability for exterior use.

In terms of performance, this travertine offers good compressive strength and moderate water absorption. While it is durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects, proper sealing and maintenance are essential to protect it from staining and weather-related wear.
