China Travertine

Travertine is a limestone deposited by minerals. It is formed by a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the mouth of a hot spring or in a limestone cave. Travertine is characterized by pitted holes and troughs in its surface which suggest signs of wear and tear over time.

Travertine exists in off white, tan, cream, coral-red and even rusty varieties. Travertine is commonly used for flooring, paving patios, garden paths, façades, and wall cladding.

Travertine's soft harmonious color and porous stone texture make it ideal for various modern building projects. Household interior decoration, hotel lobby, bathroom, internal and external walls of the great mansion, swimming pool deck, etc. Travertine adds classical and eternal beauty to any architectures.

Loose Wall Cladding Stone

Stone cladding is a thin layer of real stone applied to a building or other structure as a protective and decorative covering for walls and surfaces. Real stone wall cladding is a natural stone that has been quarried and used as individual pieces which give virtually endless possibilities to create random patterns and designs. They can be used not only on internal, external walls and facade, but in landscaping applications as well such as garden walls, patios, paths and stairs. Natural stone cladding can be dry staked, pointed with mortar, to be mechanical fixed or adhered to substrates.

Split & Tumbled Loose Pieces

We are supplying a unique format of wall cladding stone which uses continuous horizontal layer of stone tiles that are cut in 4 specified heights and random lengths to achieve a sophisticated stone wall finish. Each stone slip is cropped by a guillotine machine to get a textured split/riven top surface and a sawn back surface for quick and efficient fixing to ICF walls. Stone edges are either hand dressed for an pleasing feel, or stones are tumbled to remove any sharp edges. The coursed stone is generally fixed with a mortar less joint to achieve a dry stone effect.

Composable Long-strip Format Walling Stone

These stone pieces are called Composable Long-strip Format Walling stone because they are not arranged and glued in the usual way of a standard 600x150mm size panel.

In stead, stones are supplied in strip-style pieces that have variable lengths of 150/ 300/450/600 mm, and fixed heights of 50/100/150 mm, as the below diagram.

These variations make the stone pieces composable and flexible at the construction site where they can be arranged in variable sequences. Builders are encouraged to try different combinations until a unique and satisfactory arrangement is reached.

Composable stone strips, not only varied in sizes, but they can be done with 2 or more different top finishes to blend as well.
