Whats the difference between travertine and limestone?
A. Limestone is the youngest of all these stones. It’s a sedimentary stone usually found in ocean beds. Most of the buildings around the world ( Washington, DC, Empire State Building) have been built with this stone. It’s the most common building material in the world. Travertine is a “morphed” limestone ( lime that has been deposited by water). Travertine makes an excellent use for any indoor or outdoor area because it never get hot, it is twice the strength of concrete and is non slippery. Travertine is durable for any residential and commercially – it is about 50 million years old.
