Denizli Travertine
We process the Travertine quarried
in Denizli our Izmir factory as well as in Denizli factories on an exclusive conctract
basis. We are mostly exporting the Denizli Travertine to Israel and the United States,
as tiles, cut to requested size.
We produce regular cut, cross-cut,
filled and honed travertine. We can also produce thumled travertine up to 30 cm
x 30 cm as well as bushhammered . We have 3 selections for the cross-cut travertine:
light travertine, medium travertine and commercial qualities.

Characteristics
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 consists of sparicalcite
with 30-100 micron grain sizes and micritic calcite grains of 1-4 microns. It has
a porous texture.
Usage Areas
The Denizli Travertine can
be used in interior and exterior plating, floor covering, decoration, baths, statues,
monuments and grave stones. The travertine is suitable to process in blocks and
plates; and offers good shapeability. The marble is normally polishable. There is
no rusting risk.
Block Dimensions
Block dimensions vary between
1.50x1.50x0.80m and 2.40x2.40x2.00m. 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.
