Abbas Abad Stone Properties
Among the important factors on the formation of the color and design of travertine stones are the presence of elements in it such as iron, calcium and other elements. . Good resistance to erosion, excellent beauty and polishability and other advantages of travertine stone have led to the use of this stone in building facades.
One of the good properties of this stone is its heat and sound insulation, which the holes inside the stone have created this property, and another feature of these holes in travertine stone is increasing the resistance of the installed stone. It is possible that with the penetration of cement into these holes, the adhesion of the stone to the wall increases. The holes in the travertine stone are a suitable source due to the space occupied by the gases in the hot water, which prevent the creation of a compacted stone mass.
