Denizli Travertine Light

   Quaternary aged Denizli Travertine may be white, light yellow or mustard colored. It is usually found over clayey and sandy Pliocene units and alluviums. Denizli Travertine is consisted by sparicalcite with 30-100micron grain sizes and micritic calcite grains of 1-4 microns. It has a porous texture.

   Can be used in interior/exterior plating, floor covering or decoration. The suitability to take block and plate, to cut sides and corners; the shapeability; to polish; and the cutting rate are all good. There isn’t any rusting risk.

   Block dimensions vary between 1.50*1.50*0.80m and 2.40*2.40*2.00m. Larger blocks can be obtained from the portions where the fissure intervals are very wide. Plates of 1,2,3,4, or 5cm thick and desired dimension can be obtained.
