White travertine slab is a premium natural stone product distinguished by its soft ivory to pure white base, subtle natural pores, and delicate veining in pale gray or faint gold, engineered for interior and protected outdoor applications where brightness, tranquility, and a timeless natural aesthetic are prioritized. GHY STONE, a premier manufacturer since 1992, produces these slabs to cater to diverse design styles—from minimalist residential bathrooms to luxury hotel lobbies and high-end retail spaces—leveraging strict quality control and advanced fabrication to balance aesthetic appeal with functional performance. Sourced from select quarries specializing in high-quality white travertine, including Italy’s Tivoli (known for travertine with fine, evenly distributed pores and soft gray veining, ideal for elegant interiors) and Turkey’s Denizli (producing ivory-white travertine with subtle gold flecks, suited for warm-toned spaces), the raw material adheres to rigorous standards: density of 2.65–2.75 g/cm³ (ensuring structural stability for both wall and countertop use), compressive strength of ≥110 MPa (ASTM C170, resisting minor impacts from daily use), water absorption of ≤0.5% post-filling (ASTM C97, preventing moisture damage in humid areas like bathrooms), and controlled color variation (ΔE ≤1.2) to maintain a cohesive look across installations while preserving the stone’s natural uniqueness. The fabrication process begins with selective block cutting to retain the most visually appealing sections—prioritizing slabs with uniform white bases and subtle veining—followed by CNC diamond cutting to achieve precise dimensions. Standard sizes include 60cm×120cm, 80cm×160cm, and 120cm×240cm, with custom sizes available to fit specific project needs; thickness options range from 15mm–30mm, with 15–20mm for wall cladding (reducing structural load) and 20–30mm for countertops, flooring, or outdoor paving (enhancing durability). A critical step in fabrication is vacuum-assisted resin filling, where color-matched, low-VOC resin is injected into natural pores to seal them partially (preserving the stone’s texture while preventing dirt accumulation and staining). Surface finishes are tailored to application: honed finishes (matte, surface roughness ≤0.7μm) are preferred for bathrooms and kitchen countertops, as they reduce glare, hide water spots, and provide a smooth, touchable surface; satin finishes (subtle sheen) work well for living room accent walls, adding warmth without overwhelming brightness; and light polished finishes (gloss level 65–70 units) are used in hotel lobbies to reflect light and amplify space. A final application of a low-VOC, water-based sealant (compliant with GREENGUARD indoor air quality standards) is applied to interior slabs to enhance stain resistance against spills like coffee, wine, or cosmetics; for covered outdoor slabs (e.g., patio flooring), a UV-stable polyurethane sealant is used to prevent yellowing from sunlight and damage from mild weather. Installation is adapted to use case: wall slabs are mounted using polymer-modified mortar on waterproof drywall or concrete substrates, with minimal grout lines (1–2mm) filled with color-matched grout to maintain a streamlined look; countertops are installed with epoxy mortar for secure bonding to cabinetry, with reinforcement rods for spans over 120cm to prevent bending; outdoor paving slabs are laid on compacted gravel or sand substrates with a 2% slope for water runoff, using weather-resistant grout to accommodate thermal expansion. Maintenance is straightforward: daily cleaning with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust; weekly wiping with a damp cloth and pH-neutral stone cleaner (avoiding acidic cleaners like vinegar, which can etch the white surface); and resealing every 36–48 months for interiors, or 24–36 months for outdoor slabs, to maintain protection and brightness. GHY STONE’s sustainable practices include water recycling (80% of water used in cutting and filling is reused) and waste repurposing (offcuts are transformed into small decorative items like coasters or mosaic tiles), aligning with eco-friendly building goals. Whether used as a bathroom vanity top, a hotel lobby wall panel, or a residential kitchen backsplash, white travertine slab delivers a serene, luxurious atmosphere and long-lasting performance, embodying GHY STONE’s commitment to premium natural stone solutions.
