Bathroom travertine slabs are moisture-resistant natural stone products engineered for the unique demands of wet indoor spaces, such as shower walls, vanities, flooring, and bathtub surrounds, prioritizing water resistance, slip safety, and easy cleaning. GHY STONE, a leading manufacturer since 1992, designs these slabs to balance functionality with aesthetic appeal, complementing bathroom styles from modern to classic. Sourced from quarries in Iran’s Naein (travertine with high density, low porosity, and resistance to moisture damage) and Turkey’s Denizli (travertine with smooth textures and neutral tones ideal for bathrooms), the raw material meets strict wet-space standards: density of 2.7–2.8 g/cm³ (preventing water absorption), compressive strength of ≥120 MPa (withstanding daily use and cleaning), water absorption of ≤0.3% post-treatment (ASTM C97, preventing mold and mildew growth), and slip resistance of R11–R12 per EN 14411 (critical for wet floors). Fabrication focuses on water resistance and safety: CNC cutting produces custom dimensions (large slabs up to 240cm×120cm for seamless shower walls, 60cm×30cm tiles for flooring, and tailored shapes for vanity tops) with thickness options (18mm–25mm, thicker for vanities and floors, thinner for walls); vacuum-assisted resin filling (color-matched to bathroom-friendly hues like gray, ivory, or light beige) uses a waterproof resin to seal all pores and micro-voids; grinding with 400–2000 grit abrasives creates a surface that is smooth but not slippery when wet; and a multi-layer, waterproof, low-VOC sealant (formulated for wet areas) is applied to repel water and resist degradation from bathroom cleaners. Finishes are optimized for bathroom use: honed finishes (matte, non-slip) for flooring and shower floors, as they provide traction without trapping water; satin finishes (subtly textured) for shower walls, preventing water spots from showing; and polished finishes (moderate gloss) for vanity tops, as they are easy to wipe clean of toothpaste or soap scum. Color options prioritize brightness and cleanliness—ivory (creating a spa-like atmosphere), light gray (modern and resistant to visible soap scum), and soft beige (warm and versatile)—avoiding dark tones that can make small bathrooms feel cramped. Installation guidelines include substrate preparation (waterproof backer boards for all wet surfaces, sloped floors for shower areas to ensure drainage), adhesive selection (waterproof epoxy mortar), and grout lines (2mm) filled with mold-resistant grout. Maintenance involves weekly cleaning with pH-neutral bathroom cleaner (avoiding acidic products that damage sealant), monthly inspection for sealant wear, and resealing every 24–36 months to maintain water resistance. GHY STONE’s bathroom travertine slabs also meet health standards for mold resistance, ensuring a hygienic environment. These slabs combine practicality and style, making them ideal for residential and commercial bathroom projects, aligning with GHY STONE’s commitment to excellence in functional stone products.
