As decorative materials, travertine and marble are completely different. These two stone materials are mainly used for building exterior wall decoration and interior floor and wall decoration. However, due to the formation and physical characteristics of travertine, safety issues may develop during use of travertine.
The density of travertine itself is relatively high. However, due to the existence of holes, the travertine has a hollow phenomenon, high water absorption, and natural defects such as textures, mudlines, mudlines, cracks, etc. Make the travertine easily broken and accidents.
Natural defects are also the main reason for the poor frost resistance of this material. Many samples have frozen and cracked into a pile of gravel before the performance of 25 freeze-thaw cycles is over. This type of stone belongs to limestone with carbonate structure and has poor carbonicity. When used in heavily polluted areas such as Asia, acid rain will cause serious erosion and accelerate the destruction of the stone.
Therefore, when travertine is used as wall decoration, especially exterior wall decoration, a big safety problem will arise. Under harsh weather conditions such as acid rain erosion, wind and sun, alternating cold and heat, there is a possibility of falling at any time, and stone engineering also has great safety hazards.
When using travertine as a wall decoration material, it is necessary to carry out a full scientific demonstration and allow experts to check the technology technically to reduce the risk and control it to a safe range.
