How does Travertine Compare to Limestone or Marble?
Travertine is a type of “morphed” limestone, where the lime content has been deposited by water. Limestone is the youngest of the natural stones – travertine being 50 million years old, and marble the oldest at 100 million years old. Limestone is the most commonly used construction stone, featured in many popular buildings around the world. Travertine is ideal for indoor and outdoor applications, because it is non-slip and twice the strength of concrete. Marble, the oldest stone, constains more veining throughout. Travertine is a much wider natural stone than marble, and is suitable for all the same applications as marble. Now that is a durable product! But you need a professional to install travertine.
