The Travertine 

Since ancient times considered a decorative product with excellent technical and aesthetic qualities, our travertine was among the most valuable Roman travertines used in the construction of public and private buildings in Roman and modern times. The Travertine from this deposit is unique. The cultivation of this deposit was limited in the past by impediments related to the extraction techniques. Today, using the most modern extraction techniques, KingStone brings to light what can be defined as the highest expression of Roman travertine. The travertine cultivated by KingStone is compact, hard, without gypsum, with very regular veins and low porosity. Therefore, it is a stone that stands out not only for its purely decorative aspect but also for its excellent technical performance.

KingStone travertine 

kingStone travertine developed a distinctive appearance thanks to its regular ivory veins and colour homogeneity (subtle variation are monochromatic and brought about by the stone’s beautiful natural patterns), its robustness (the low porosity makes it resistant to external agent and can be therefore used for indoor and outdoor solutions) and its versatility (what is amazing with our stone is the easy of insertion inside any type of furniture and design thanks to its qualities). KingStone travertine is available in a range of warm and neutral colours with three main shades characterized by thin light ivory veins, more evident ivory/grey veins and  thicker hazel veins.
