Red Travertine Slab: Application and Limitations

The mainstream color of Red Travertine slabs is light beige, but they are also available in yellow, coffee, ultra-white, red, and gray varieties.

Red Travertine slab is known for its gentle texture and rich feel, often imparting a strong cultural and historical charm to decorated buildings, making it a popular choice among architects.

However, Red Travertine has certain drawbacks, including low strength, loose texture, easy water accumulation in holes, and poor freeze-thaw resistance and weather resistance. Some travertine stones, especially those with very low strength, may break during processing, transport, and installation.

Considering these challenges, Red Travertine slab curtain walls should be applied with caution, having specific scope of application and use restrictions.

Usage Restrictions for Red Travertine Slab:

• Not suitable for exterior walls of schools, kindergartens, nurseries, hospitals, and buildings where the elderly reside.

• Not suitable for high-traffic exterior walls, such as those on shopping malls, railway stations, airports, exhibition halls, grand theaters, and office buildings.

• Avoid use on exterior walls facing roads at T-shaped intersections.

• Not suitable for high-rise or super high-rise buildings due to its low strength.

• Avoid use in areas with severe pollution, acid rain, or marine environments.

• Not suitable for cold or severely cold areas or regions with significant annual temperature fluctuations.

• When used on exterior walls, the area of a single travertine piece should be smaller than granite. The length and width should be chosen based on the texture of the travertine.

• The connection form of the travertine to the steel frame must account for the weaker edges of the travertine to ensure stability.

• The water absorption rate of travertine should be lower than that of granite.

• Before application on exterior walls, each batch of travertine should undergo bending strength tests. If unqualified, it should not be used.

• When used on exterior walls, reinforcement measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the travertine curtain wall.

1. For super high-rise buildings, a feasibility demonstration by experts should be conducted. Only if the demonstration is feasible should the use of travertine be approved, with reliable safety measures implemented.
