WHAT IS TRAVERTINE
Travertine is a sedimentary calciferous stone formed in hot springs. Typically, hot water passes through limestone beds and takes the calcium, from the limestone suspension and takes that solution to the surface where the water evaporates and leaves the calcium crystals in layers on the surface. Because travertine is formed in hot springs, there is no metal content in the stone, therefore, it never gets hot. Travertine can be cut on either a "vein" cut, which is against the bedding which reveals the bedding planes, or a "fleuri" cut, which is along the bedding plane and reveals flowery, often circular patterns. This cut is also referred to as a "crosscut" pattern.
We are one of the leading manufacturers and exporters specialized in all kinds and sizes of high quality travertine. We extract stones from Alimoglu quarries and process them in our own factories with full modern machineries.
We have 3 factories in Denizli / Turkey. We have been exporting various kinds of travertine to all over the world.
We are mainly working on two types of travertine "light and medium". In our production department travertine is carefully honed and filling process is made by hands.
