Small travertine slabs are compact natural stone products, typically ranging in size from 30cm×30cm to 60cm×60cm (smaller than standard 80cm×80cm or larger slabs), engineered for applications requiring precision, flexibility, and detailed design—such as mosaic flooring, backsplash accents, bathroom shower niches, outdoor garden pathways, or small-scale commercial spaces like café tabletops. GHY STONE, a premier manufacturer since 1992, crafts these slabs to maintain the durability and natural beauty of travertine while catering to projects with limited space or intricate design needs. Sourced from quarries in Turkey’s Denizli (travertine with consistent color and texture, ensuring uniformity across small pieces) and Spain’s Alicante (travertine with high density, ideal for small slabs that withstand frequent use), the raw material meets strict standards: density of 2.65–2.75 g/cm³ (dense enough for pathway or tabletop durability), compressive strength of ≥110 MPa (withstanding foot traffic or small furniture weight), water absorption of ≤0.5% post-filling (resisting spills or garden moisture), and color consistency with ΔE ≤1.0 (ensuring no visible variations between small slabs). Fabrication focuses on precision and consistency: CNC diamond cutting produces uniform small slabs with sharp, clean edges (tolerance ±0.1mm), ideal for mosaic patterns or tight spaces. Vacuum-assisted resin filling (color-matched to hues like beige, gray, or ivory) seals pores, preventing staining in high-contact areas like tabletops. Slabs are ground with 400–2000 grit abrasives to create smooth or textured surfaces, then treated with a sealant (honed for pathways, polished for tabletops) that enhances durability. Finishes are tailored to use: tumbled finishes (textured, R11 slip rating) for garden pathways; honed finishes for shower niches; polished finishes for café tabletops. Installation is flexible—small slabs can be arranged in patterns (herringbone, checkerboard) for flooring, adhered to backsplashes with thin-set mortar, or used as individual tabletops with metal or wood bases. They are easy to transport and install in tight spaces (like narrow bathroom showers) without heavy equipment. Maintenance involves wiping with a damp cloth and pH-neutral cleaner; outdoor slabs may need occasional pressure washing. GHY STONE’s small travertine slabs enable creative designs—from residential bathroom mosaics to commercial café flooring—combining functionality with aesthetic versatility, aligning with the company’s commitment to premium stone solutions for diverse projects.
