Finished Stone Panel Requirements

The finished stone panel, particularly Red Travertine, should meet the following basic requirements:

1. Sheet Thickness

The flexural test shows that larger thickness panels have a lower flexural strength than thinner panels. However, since the load-bearing capacity of a slab is proportional to the square of the thickness, thicker stones still have higher load-bearing capacity compared to thinner ones.

The minimum thickness of Red Travertine can be determined by the standard value of flexural strength (fk):

• When fk ≥ 8.0 MPa, the minimum thickness is 35mm.
• When 4.0 ≤ fk < 8.0 MPa, the minimum thickness is 40mm.

The standard value of flexural strength (fk) is the test average minus 1.645 times the standard deviation. If this value is lower than the test’s minimum value, then the minimum value should be adopted.

The allowable deviation of sheet thickness is +2mm, -0mm; negative deviations are not allowed.

2. Plate Size

Due to the low strength of Red Travertine, the size of the plates should not exceed 1.0 square meter.

• Slender strip stones should be avoided as they are prone to breaking during transportation and installation.
• The conversion ratio of stone size should be within 1:2 and should not exceed 1:3.

3. Surface Treatment

Red Travertine has a high water absorption rate, so it should undergo waterproof coating to reduce the water absorption rate to below 1%.

• For stone curtain walls with glue-injected board seams, the stone slab should be waterproof only on the outer surface.
• For open board seams, the stone should be waterproofed on all six sides.

Additionally, Red Travertine stones with large holes or an excessive number of holes should be sealed.

Waterproof treatment should be applied after all grooves and holes have been machined, cleaned, and dried.
