And the pioneers of this stone were the ancient Romans. Life moves in a spiral and at present natural stone is widely used in modern interiors of a country house. The relatively low cost of travertine allows you to actively use it in the construction and decoration of houses.

Decorative tile from travertine
Travertine - a natural material that is formed in mountain caves and grottoes, refers to tuffs. Physical properties are similar to calcareous rocks.
Travertine has a porous structure and low density - these properties provide it with low weight, the reserves of this stone are very large, so the price is not particularly high.
On the territory of Russia, this building material is mined in Transcaucasia and Pyatigorsk.
The porous structure of the stone makes it easy to process it and use it as a tile, especially when decorating the interior.
The stone has several colors:
-cream shade;
-all white color;
- Light gray.
Decorative tile from travertine is used for decorating the facades of country houses in the English style.
After the travertine is processed under the facing tile, the stone looks more aesthetically and elegantly.
When manufacturing facing tiles, the natural material is crushed, various adhesive and protective impurities are added to it.
In order to obtain a tile, the mixture is pressed and the result is not only natural color tile, but also more exotic colors.
Travertine - plaster
A very interesting option is the application of travertine in the form of plaster, using such plaster, as a result, an imitation of the real stone. This building material is used both for internal and external works, after staining does not lose its texture.
The plaster is divided into two types:
-for internal works;
-for facade works.
Therefore, when buying plaster from travertine, pay attention to what purpose this plaster is suitable for.
If you use internal plaster for painting the facade, this plaster will last no more than a year.
Plaster - travertine is well-colored and if you buy white plaster by adding a pigment, you can achieve the desired result. Using various techniques of execution, plaster can be made under a stone, under a monolith, under the texture.
Usually, making the technique of execution under the stone, imitate the usual building bricks.
The technique of execution for a monolith can represent a wall in the form of a single piece of rock.
The most advanced technique of execution - textured plaster. Using textured plaster, you can give the walls an effect of antiquity.
Adding acrylic to the plaster mixture and not stirring it too much, you can make a granite or even a basalt wall from an ordinary wall.
Recently, cave style has become fashionable when decorating a room, but this style is suitable for large areas, from 50 m2.
Before you do the textured plaster, the frame is assembled from plasterboard, the corners of the ceiling are rounded.
The frame itself is made no closer than 20 cm from the wall and all the interior items are in niches.
The decoration of the room in the form of a cave looks very impressive and creates a cozy atmosphere.
Tile travertine for an interior of a country house
Tiles are manufactured in various ways, depending on the method of production, the technical parameters and the texture change.
If the tile is made by grinding, this method is used to process the whole rock, this allows you to completely preserve the texture of travertine.
The front side of the polished tiles is treated with special means, which protect the tile from destruction.
Since the material is environmentally friendly and safe, does not emit any harmful to human dust - it is widely used for finishing the interior surface of the house and for finishing the facade.
Travertine tiles are used not only for monolithic wall covering from floor to ceiling, but also used in the decoration of individual elements such as:
-Create a separate drawing;
-Use in decorating fireplaces;
-Use the tiles to separate zones in the combined rooms;
-separate a separate wall;
-use for frescoes;
- Perfectly combined with wood.
Travertine tiles are actively used to separate individual perimeters, such as:
- Window openings;
-door openings;
-decorative columns.
In addition to polished tiles, the finish uses a compressed one.
But the pressed tiles are widely used for floor installation, since special substances are added to this tile - the tile turns out to be strong and durable.
The merits include the fact that the material is very warm.
Floor tiles from travertine do not require heating in the form of a warm floor. In addition, the travertine tiles are very easy to clean, there are no stains on it, due to the fact that the tile consists of limestone - the material has a high adhesion.
Wiping the seams between the tiles, the grout penetrates into the material itself and this eliminates the possibility of seam divergence.
