This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 118″ × 64″, about 52 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is red. 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 Powder and a Kitchen.

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 Travertino Rosso

Travertino Rosso is a striking Italian travertine, celebrated for its deep, wine-red to terracotta hues. Formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate in hot springs, this sedimentary rock features the characteristic porous structure and horizontal veining that define the travertine family. Its intense coloration is a result of iron oxides present during its geological formation, offering a warm, earthy aesthetic that bridges classical grandeur with modern design. Highly versatile, it is a preferred choice for sophisticated interior cladding, flooring, and decorative accents. Interestingly, while most associate travertine with the neutral tones of the Colosseum, this vibrant red variety captures the "red soul" of Italian mineral heritage, providing a bold architectural identity that remains naturally slip-resistant due to its organic texture.
