Palimpsest is when something in the past incorporates new, present day elements so it is altered but still respects and celebrates the past. It combines the history of the object from its original form with components that are relevant and valued now.

Renzo Piano exemplifies palimpsest when the music halls were build around ancient ruins discovered at the site. Instead of destorying the ruins or disregarding them, the history is celebrated as the new building was constructed surrounding the ruins, which are in the center of the structures. Glass walls allow visitors to view and admire them. Furthermore, Renzo Piano is a modern day structure that utilizes cutting edge technology in the halls and a design that is useful and appealing to the current time period to meet our present needs and desires, such as housing concerts, performances, events and museums. The halls were constructed out of materials that were widely used in ancient structures such as Roman brick and traverine, but used to create modern day design such as simplicity and sleekness. Instead of copying or denying the past, the materials are utilized in a way which is relevant today. In addition, Renzo Piano has museums which display ancient artifacts from the last three thousand years of human history. This encourages the past to be acknowledged, celebrated, and reflected upon. Essentially, Renzo Piano alters something in the past by incorporating present day design and style to respect human history and create structures that represent the progression of history.

Exclusive Design ideas with Tumbled Silver Travertine

Wonderfully beautiful travertine silver tiles for your dream home. Travertine Silver is a gray-silver limestone and knows how to impress with its unusual and modern look. Our Traverin Silver tiles are available in a tumbled and honed surface that underlines the Mediterranean and at the same time the natural character of the stone. The stone that is still open-pored on delivery will be fully grouted with a natural stone grout. In addition to the joints, this also closes the natural, characteristic pores. The big advantage is that the joints and the filling of the pores have the same color. We recommend that you use a gray natural stone joint mortar with this rock, as this has a very subtle effect and allows the rock to come into its own.

What are the different surface treatments of Silver Travertine?

Silver Travertine Brushed surface?

With brushed natural stone surfaces, two operations play the central role in the end result. Before the final brush processing begins, the rock mass is carefully ground. This cut closes the pores. Only then is the surface processed with brushes. This process creates an attractive, matt surface without gloss. Brushing gives the stone a structure very similar to that of human skin due to its different mineral composition. This surface treatment gives the stone a beautiful and unique look and feel. The surface treatment brushed is also referred to as satin, leather finished, antique, or as a leather look.

Silver Travertine Flamed & brushed?

lamed and brushed surfaces give the surface slip and resistance, which is mostly used for floor slabs and steps in the outdoor area. special brushes smooth the rough surface. The brushes contain abrasive grains that are worked into the interior, which subsequently develops the wrinkle-free structure. Flamed surfaces on natural stones have the advantage that they have a higher slip resistance, which is very beneficial for outdoor use. This feature is sometimes welcomed in the living area. Flamed and brushed surface treatment is most often used outdoors for floor slabs, steps, terrace slabs, and external stairs. What happens when a natural stone surface is flamed? The surface is exposed to evenly high heat for a short time. The various minerals or components from which stone such as Granite consist of different degrees of expansion under the heat. Above all, the harder components burst open. The flamed, brushed, or patinated surface must always be used where frost temperatures and drizzle can interact.

Siver Travertine Polished surface?

Grinding is one of the oldest methods of processing natural stones. Thanks to the latest technology, diamond stone grinding machines create flat but not shiny surfaces. The grinding wheels, which are enriched with abrasives, rotate. This is where minerals meet because the grinding wheels contain the smallest artificial diamonds or abrasive grains. After grinding, the plate is given the name C120, for example, the C stands for carborundum and the number, in turn, indicates the respective sieve line. Since no natural stone is the same as another in the mineral mix, there can be no uniform standard lines for this. Result: The polished surface is even, matt, and less colored than polished natural stone surfaces, but offers a non-slip effect on most natural stones. A sanded surface is not non-slip.

Silver Travertine (high-gloss) surface?

Polished stone surfaces flank the robustness and beauty of the selected material, polished natural stone surfaces are easy to clean. The polished surface of natural stone is one of the most attractive design elements in the living area and is, therefore, the most requested by customers. A polished natural stone surface is mostly used in representative residential and business areas. Highly polished natural stone surfaces radiate elegance and a sophisticated living ambiance. Viewing a high-gloss natural stone surface is like looking into the formation of our earth.

Polished surfaces should not be used in public and outdoor areas. Because wet or damp natural stone surfaces turn into life-threatening “slides” when frost temperatures and drizzle interact.

Silver Travertine Patinated surface – sandblasted surface?

Travertine processing, sandblasting technology is now very advanced. In general, sandblasted natural stone surfaces are suitable for floors in wet areas, outdoors, and wherever greater demands are made on slip resistance. In the case of marble, sandblasted surfaces are also called patinated. When sandblasting, the surface is evenly processed with various materials using very high air pressure. With marble, this surface is mostly used indoors and most often in the bathroom. This surface combines an antique look with anti-slip properties.

Silver Travertine Satin surface

Satin-finished surfaces, two work processes play a central role in the end result. Before the final brush processing begins. This process creates an attractive, matt surface without gloss. Brushing gives the stone a structure very similar to that of human skin due to its different mineral composition. This surface treatment gives the stone a beautiful and unique look and feel. The satin surface finish is also referred to as brushed, leather finished, antique or leather look.

Some satin-finished natural stone surfaces are non-slip and slip-proof. It should not be used outdoors.

Matchless Silver Travertine

If you decide to layout your terrace with our travertine silver, you will get a stone that convinces with its balanced interplay of different color gradations. You will find light gray and dark gray tones here, but even individual anthracite-colored panels and always unobtrusive beige accents. This look is further supported by the porosity that is typical of travertine and is particularly pronounced here.

Travertine Silver for a terrace with temperament

You will often find a wide variety of veins in this travertine in different colors, which underline that this is a real natural product – no two panels are alike. There are even inclusions of dark quartz that enhance the rustic look. This look is complemented by the drum, which gives our Silver an antique touch and caresses the feet when walking over it.

The proportions of gray, anthracite, and beige can fluctuate even from batch to batch. What remains the same, however, is the high quality: the travertine silver impresses with its small dimensional tolerances and slip resistance, even in the immediate vicinity of pools.

Without frost damage during the winter

Like all of our outdoor travertines, the silver travertine slabs are frost-resistant, so that even in mountainous surroundings you can be sure that your terrace will survive the winter safely. Proper laying is, of course, a prerequisite for this, which guarantees the unimpeded outflow of rain and meltwater.

Proper installation Travertine

In order for you to be able to admire your silver travertine sheets again in spring without damage, we recommend that the sheets be laid easily and economically. For this unbound construction, simply use a gravel foundation and a fine stone bed into which you put the travertine slabs. A slope of at least 3% should be maintained to prevent waterlogging under the panels.

Don’t forget the impregnation!

Those who like to spend long mild summer nights with their loved ones on the terrace should remember to impregnate the travertine plates. So you can relax and enjoy a glass of red wine without fear of stains on the natural stone floor.

Special Travertine, Special price

The special thing about this travertine is not only the color but unfortunately also the price. In Turkey, there are currently only 3 quarries that mine Travertine Silver. Coupled with worldwide high demand for this stone, the relatively high price comes about. We still strive to offer these great travertine slabs at a reasonable price.

Special coloring rightly popular

While common travertines usually only have a color range from beige to brown, travertine silver stands out from the mass of our natural stone slabs with its grayish color. What is extraordinary is how much the different shades of color alternate. Thanks to its modernity and uniqueness, the Travertine Silver has rightly enjoyed a wedding in recent years. Boredom has no chance here! Travertine silver is mined in Turkey. Generally speaking, there is a large amount of travertine in Turkey. The travertine silver is an open-pored material like the travertine light and the travertine medium. It has all the properties and peculiarities that other travertines also have. Particularly noteworthy here is the frost resistance, which is by no means a matter of course with limestone. Most travertine quarries have beige or brownish travertine in various shades of color. But only very certain quarries and mining locations produce this special color.

Building floors, stairs made of Silver Travertine Tiles

Silver Traavertine tiles used for stairs and floors is subject to abrasion and impact. It must therefore be very hard and have a high level of abrasion and impact resistance. The stone used for this part of the building should be cutable in one direction, as should sedimentary and metamorphic stones which have the advantage. In addition, because the stones used for floors and stairs are constantly exposed to contamination, they must have a low porosity so that the detergents and acidic and basic materials used for washing do not penetrate into them and damage them.

Silver Travertine Interior wall cladding of the building

Silver Travertine is the best and most durable flooring in the world and so far no more durable and beautiful material than a natural stone has been manufactured or recognized. Silver Travertine has high impact resistance, fire resistance, chemical resistance, good polishability, a beautiful natural pattern, and color, thus giving the building a pleasant and beautiful atmosphere. Using the Silver Travertine for the inside wall of the building gives it a cool and very glamorous look. Basically, the stone is used to cover the walls of bathrooms, office buildings, shops, dining rooms, etc. The stone used for the walls should have a nice honed and tumbled finish. In addition, it should have a low porosity so that it is not damaged during washing with the detergent and its resistance does not decrease.

M A T E R I A L  °  TRAVERTIN

Travertin, auch Antik-Marmor genannt, ist ein sehr warmer Stein. Diese Eigenschaft  ist technisch bedingt durch die vielen offenen Hohlräume im Stein. Der warme Eindruck  wird unterstützt durch  die braunen Farbtöne. Da Travertin relativ leicht ist (Dichte: 2,0 - 2,5  g/cm³) eignet er sich hervorragend als Baustoff. Ob im Innenbereich als Bodenbelag  und Wandbekleidung oder sogar  als komplettes Badezimmer, inklusive Waschbecken und gefliester Dusche. Je  nach Material  und Oberflächenbearbeitung wirkt er mal elegant und edel oder eher rustikal.  Unabhängig davon  verleiht jeder Naturstein einem Raum einen einzigartigen und exklusiven Charakter. Die  Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten mit Naturstein sind grenzenlos. Tolle Effekte  lassen sich durch die  Kombination verschiedener Sorten erreichen. Natursteine sind natürlich  gewachsene Steine. Sie  sind Gemenge aus Mineralien, deren Zusammenhalt durch direkte Verwachsung oder  durch eine  Grundmasse, ein Bindemittel gewährleistet wird. Jeder Naturstein (d.h.  jede Fliese, Bodenplatte,  jede Sockelleiste usw.) ist ein Unikat. Jedes Stück Naturstein kommt nur  ein einziges Mal auf der  Erde vor. Dies macht unter anderem die Exklusivität der Natursteine aus.  Bei Naturstein ist es üblich  und normal, dass Farb- und Strukturunterschiede, offene Stellen, Adern usw.  auftreten. Ebenso  sind Verschiedenheiten in der Körnung, Schattierungen und teilweise Flecken  normal. Dies  sind Naturspiele, die zu den Besonderheiten des Natursteins gehören, sie  sind normal und somit kein Grund für Beanstandungen. 

Im Außenbereich überzeugt Travertin  in Form von Bodenplatten  und individuellen Ziergegenständen (Gartenbank, Brunnen, Statuen u.v.m.).  Ein Hauptmerkmal  vieler Travertine sind die offenen Hohlräume auf der Oberfläche.  Sie können in unterschiedlichen  Größen auftreten, was die Optik des Steines aber nicht mindert.  Sie bestimmen maßgeblich die  Eigenschaften von Travertin. Durch die vielen Hohlräume erhöht sich  auch die Fähigkeit des  Steines, Wärme zu speichern, was vor allem bei Verlegung in Kombination mit einer Fußbodenheizung optimal ist.

Während im Außenbereich  Travertin meist in seiner ursprünglichen Form  belassen wird, verfüllt man für den Innenbereich die Löcher  mit Spachtelmasse. Dies erleichtert  die Pflege und ermöglicht die Verwendung im Nassbereich. Ungespachtelter,  naturbelassener  Travertin ist frostbeständig, was für gespachtelten Travertin nicht  100 prozentig gilt. Die Spachtelmasse  verhält sich bei Frost anders als der Stein und kann dadurch herausplatzen.  Travertin  ist ein relativ hartes Gestein und zeichnet sich durch eine sehr gute Widerstandsfähigkeit  gegen Verschmutzungen und Kratzer aus.

Is Your Travertine Tile Clean? Tips From Natural Stone Experts

Orlando Traverine Restoration specializes in natural stone tile cleaning including; Limestone, Marble and Travertine. Proudly serving Greater Orlando and surrounding areas. Let us show you how we can restore you stone floors and return them to their original beauty. Natural stones such as limestone and travertine are naturally porous due to the process in which they are formed. This means, without proper sealing, the tile will easily collect dirt, debris and grime on the surface and natural pits.

  Cleaning Travertine

Our industry specific machines make the process of cleaning travertine stone floors much more effective than what most home and business owners are able to achieve on their own. Our technique and equipment can be used on all natural stone surfaces and types. They are restored and cleaned in the same process implementing our enclosed high pressure unit in conjunction with our rotary slow rpm machine. Our technicians clean the entire tile surface and the adjoining grout lines to ensure a completely clean and revitalized appearance.

Maintenance of Travertine

The most common travertine stone used within homes and commercial applications are honed (satin smooth appearance and little light reflection) and polished (high gloss appearance which reflects light and accentuates the color and markings within the stone.) Though beautiful to look at, these flooring options easily show traffic wear and debris. Normal cleaning and mopping will not completely remove the buildup of dirt and will require more frequent professional intervention to restore it’s like new appearance. Stone with lighter coloring will reflect stains easier than dark stone. Limestone is available in a wide variety of colors, though mostly in the palate of beiges and creams, often referred to as Applestone, and have a much higher opportunity to show staining, dirt and etching.

Sealing Travertine

We often are asked by our clients if it is possible to remove stains and etching from their natural stone surfaces. In most cases, with the use of our cleaning and honing system, we can remove most stains and etch marks found within the stone, depending on the depth of the stain’s penetration into the stone. Another common call we receive is to remove scratches made on the stone made from high foot traffic, dog nails, children’s toys and furniture. Depending on the depth of the scratch, most can be repaired and in most cases, undetectable. We always recommend a high quality penetrating sealer to protect the stone tile surfaces from scratching and staining. This is most important in kitchens and bathrooms where most staining occurs from spills. With a proper sealant applied, most spills will bead on the surface of the stone, allowing you time to clean it up and avoid staining and costly restoration.
