This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 81″ × 48″, about 27 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is beige with semi-white and ivory. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Italy.

The honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

Where it works

For this kind of stone, the usual applications are floors, showers, and wall cladding. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Floor.

The material

Travertine is a form of limestone, often with natural pits and linear bands. Filled travertine has those voids filled for a smoother face. Unfilled travertine keeps the holes. It is widely used for floors, showers, and wall cladding. Shade can shift from cream to gold to silver within one name, so the lot on hand is the one to approve.

About Roman Travertine Light

Roman Travertine Light is a prestigious Italian limestone quarried from the historic geothermal basins of Tivoli and Guidonia. Characterized by a delicate cream-to-beige palette, this variety features a refined, compact structure with the signature small pores formed by ancient mineral springs. Known in antiquity as lapis tiburtinus, it has defined the visual identity of Rome for two millennia, serving as the primary material for the Colosseum and St. Peter’s Colonnade. This "living stone" is celebrated for its remarkable durability and unique ability to harden over time when exposed to the elements, making it an enduring choice for both classical and contemporary architecture.
