Kitchen travertine slabs are durable, stain-resistant natural stone products designed for the high-use demands of kitchen spaces, including countertops, backsplashes, and flooring, balancing resistance to food spills, heat, and daily wear with aesthetic appeal. GHY STONE, a premier manufacturer since 1992, crafts these slabs to meet the needs of both residential and commercial kitchens, complementing styles from contemporary to traditional. Sourced from quarries in Spain’s Alicante (travertine with high compressive strength and resistance to food acids) and Turkey’s Denizli (travertine with low porosity and consistent texture ideal for food preparation areas), the raw material adheres to strict kitchen standards: density of 2.7–2.8 g/cm³ (supporting heavy cookware), compressive strength of ≥120 MPa (withstanding countertop weight and foot traffic), water absorption of ≤0.3% post-filling (resisting oil, wine, and sauce spills), and heat resistance up to 200°C (protecting against hot pans). Fabrication focuses on durability and food safety: CNC cutting produces custom dimensions (slabs up to 300cm×150cm for seamless countertops, 60cm×60cm tiles for flooring, and 30cm×60cm tiles for backsplashes) with thickness options (20mm–30mm for countertops, 15mm for backsplashes/flooring); vacuum-assisted resin filling (food-safe, low-VOC, color-matched to kitchen-friendly hues like beige, gray, or light brown) seals pores to prevent bacteria growth and staining; grinding with 400–3000 grit abrasives creates a smooth surface that is easy to sanitize; and a food-safe, commercial-grade sealant (NSF-certified) is applied to enhance stain and heat resistance. Finishes are tailored to kitchen functions: honed finishes (matte, anti-glare) for countertops, as they hide minor scratches from knives or cookware; polished finishes (easy to wipe) for backsplashes, preventing food splatters from adhering; and textured finishes (slip-resistant) for flooring, ensuring safety when spills occur. Color options prioritize practicality and style—beige (hiding minor food spills), gray (modern and resistant to visible oil), and light brown (warm and complementing wood cabinetry)—avoiding light tones that show every crumb. Installation guidelines include substrate preparation (reinforced, level surfaces for countertops, heat-resistant underlayment for areas near stoves), adhesive selection (food-safe epoxy for countertops), and grout lines (2mm) filled with stain-resistant grout for flooring/backsplashes. Maintenance involves daily wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap, weekly deep cleaning with pH-neutral stone cleaner, and resealing every 24–36 months to maintain stain resistance. GHY STONE’s kitchen travertine slabs also meet food safety standards, ensuring they are safe for food preparation areas. These slabs combine functionality and aesthetics, making them ideal for kitchens, aligning with GHY STONE’s commitment to premium, functional stone solutions.
