Silver travertine slab is a distinctive natural stone product characterized by its cool silver-gray base, subtle metallic undertones, fine natural pores, and delicate veining in light gray or soft charcoal, engineered for interior and protected outdoor applications where a modern, sophisticated, and understated aesthetic is desired. GHY STONE, a trusted manufacturer since 1992, produces these slabs to complement contemporary design styles—from urban residential living rooms and office reception areas to boutique hotels and high-end commercial lobbies—combining strict raw material selection with precision fabrication to ensure both visual appeal and functional durability. Sourced from specialized quarries in Iran’s Naein (renowned for silver travertine with uniform silver-gray hues and fine, linear veining, ideal for modern interiors) and Spain’s Alicante (producing travertine with deeper silver tones and subtle white veining, suited for dramatic accent walls), the raw material meets rigorous performance standards: density of 2.7–2.8 g/cm³ (higher than standard travertine, ensuring enhanced durability for high-traffic areas), compressive strength of ≥120 MPa (ASTM C170, withstanding heavy foot traffic or furniture weight), water absorption of ≤0.4% post-filling (ASTM C97, resisting moisture in spaces like office kitchens or covered patios), and scratch resistance of ≥5 Mohs (protecting against minor scuffs from daily use). The fabrication process starts with careful block selection to isolate slabs with consistent silver-gray bases and complementary veining, avoiding excessive color variation. CNC diamond cutting is then used to achieve precise dimensions, with standard sizes including 60cm×120cm, 80cm×160cm, and 120cm×240cm, and custom sizes available for large-scale projects; thickness options range from 15mm–30mm, with 15–20mm for wall cladding (lightweight enough for vertical installation) and 25–30mm for flooring or countertops (heavy-duty for high-use scenarios). A vacuum-assisted resin filling process uses silver-toned, low-VOC resin to seal natural pores, preserving the stone’s texture while preventing dirt accumulation and staining—critical for maintaining the slab’s cool silver appearance. Surface finishes are optimized to enhance the metallic undertones: honed finishes (matte, surface roughness ≤0.6μm) are ideal for office floors and residential living rooms, as they highlight the silver base without glare; brushed finishes (subtly textured) add tactile depth, perfect for accent walls in boutique hotels; and light polished finishes (gloss level 60–65 units) are used in commercial lobbies to reflect light and accentuate the veining without creating an overly shiny look. A final sealant application is tailored to use: indoor slabs receive a low-VOC, water-based sealant (compliant with indoor air quality standards) to resist stains from coffee, ink, or food; outdoor slabs (e.g., covered patio flooring) get a UV-stable polyurethane sealant to prevent fading from sunlight and damage from rain or humidity. Installation varies by application: wall slabs are mounted using polymer-modified mortar on concrete or drywall substrates, with 1–2mm grout lines filled with silver-gray grout to blend seamlessly; flooring slabs are installed on reinforced concrete substrates with moisture barriers, using sanded grout to handle foot traffic; countertops are bonded with epoxy mortar, with edge treatments (polished or beveled) to complement modern cabinetry. Maintenance is user-friendly: daily cleaning with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and maintain the silver sheen; weekly wiping with a damp cloth and pH-neutral stone cleaner (avoiding harsh chemicals that could dull the metallic undertones); and resealing every 30–36 months for interiors, or 24 months for outdoor slabs, to preserve performance and appearance. GHY STONE’s sustainable practices—including energy-efficient cutting equipment and recycling of fabrication waste into landscaping aggregate—ensure silver travertine slab aligns with green building initiatives. Whether used as an office reception desk, a residential accent wall, or a boutique hotel floor, silver travertine slab delivers modern sophistication and reliable durability, reflecting GHY STONE’s expertise in premium natural stone.
