Classic Roman Travertine

Classic travertine is a material with a uniform light beige colour . Its very high porosity brings out the  uniqueness of the natural stone, reminding us of the classical and  baroque architecture in Rome. Classic  travertine,  if cut at right angles to the grain brings out the  slightly darker veining, highlighting the compactness and homogeneity of  the structure despite the porosity. Classic travertine,  if cut  parallel to the grain, has a slightly cloudy effect in the tone on tone  colours and a much more compact look. <ul class="dati-generali"> <li class="field-carico_di_rottura_a_compressione"><span class="label-det">Compression tensile strength </span><span class="value-det">1114 kg/cm²</span></li> <li class="field-carico_di_rottura_dopo_cicli_gelivita"><span class="label-det">Tensile strength after freeze-thaw cycles </span><span class="value-det">AAA1</span></li> <li class="field-carico_di_rottura_unitario_a_flessione"><span class="label-det">Unitary modulus of bending tensile strength </span><span class="value-det">153 Kg/cm²</span></li> <li class="field-coefficiente_dilatazione_termica"><span class="label-det">Heat expansion coefficient </span><span class="value-det">0,0048 mm/m°C</span></li> <li class="field-coefficiente_imbibizione_acqua"><span class="label-det">Water imbibition coefficient </span><span class="value-det">AAA2</span></li> <li class="field-resistenza_all_urto"><span class="label-det">Impact strength </span><span class="value-det">AAA3</span></li> <li class="field-usura_per_attrito"><span class="label-det">Frictional wear </span><span class="value-det">AAA4</span></li> <li class="field-peso_per_unita_di_volume"><span class="label-det">Mass by unit of volume </span><span class="value-det">2467 Kg/m³</span></li> <li class="field-dimensione_media_blocchi"><span class="label-det">Average size of blocks </span><span class="value-det">AAA5</span></li> <li class="field-uso_prevalente"><span class="label-det">Prevalent use </span><span class="value-det">AA6</span></li> <li class="field-coefficiente_variazione_lastra"><span class="label-det">Coefficient of slab variation </span><span class="value-det">AAA7</span></li> <li class="field-didascalia"><span class="label-det">Caption </span><span class="value-det">AAA8</span></li> </ul>
