Travertine is characterized by low hardness and low density.  The porosity of the structure provides travertine with good thermal properties and sound absorption. At the same time, travertine is one of the lightest natural stones, it is much stronger than marble, granite and limestone. Relatively high water permeability does not prevent the material from being durable, frost-resistant, resistant to external influences. Fireplace mantels, countertops, large plastics, and other utilitarian and aesthetic products are made of travertine.
