What is a French Pattern Set?

The travertine French Pattern Set is a highly attractive, elegant and dynamic product for those tired of symmetry in floor design. Made up of travertine stones in different sizes, these design products can be used with peace of mind from your wet areas to every corner of your home, and combined with different stone models. Travertine is a chemical sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of the calcium carbonate minerals within calcium-bicarbonate thermal groundwater in cave cavities or where such water surfaces. Used as a building material, these stones are turned into cladding material by processing travertine blocks extracted from travertine quarries. They are frequently preferred both in interior architecture and outdoor spaces. Travertine quarries are operated in many regions of Turkey. The produced material is offered for use as blocks, as rubble, or as sized honed–polished travertine processed in factories.

French Pattern Set Features

• Because they consist of stones of different sizes, they make your design more dynamic and elegant.
• They are long-lasting; with correct application and use they can be used safely for around 10 years.
• They require no maintenance; occasional cleaning without exposure to chemical products is enough.
• As they are watertight and natural products, they are very hard to wear out and highly durable.
• Travertine has a much softer structure than marble and granite, which gives the space a natural look.
• Thanks to their non-slip properties, they can be used in many areas such as pools, terraces, gardens and balconies.
• Very easy to use, these stones suit many weather conditions such as hot, cold or humid thanks to their natural structure.
• Very easy to install, these products are laid after coating the surface with stone adhesive mortar and then left to dry.
• Travertine takes its colour and variety from the structure of the soil and the geographical features of its region. It is then carefully shaped in factories and colours of different tones are added, so you can find models suitable for many different decoration styles.

French Pattern Set Surface Finishing Types

Honing: Making the surfaces of travertine products semi-matte after certain processes is called honing. Honed surfaces add a satin texture.

Polishing: The process that gives the travertine stone surface a finish smooth and shiny enough to reflect the light falling on it is called polishing.

Brushing: The process of giving the travertine stone surface an aged texture with the help of special brushes is called brushing.

Chiseled Edge: The process in which the edges of the travertine surface are slightly broken by mechanical applications with machines to gain an antique, aged look and texture is called chiseled edge. A brushed stone looks very aesthetic and nostalgic once the chiseled-edge process is also applied.

Tumbling: Supporting, by mechanical means, the aged look formed by the erosion that travertine surfaces are naturally exposed to over the years is called tumbling.

Filling: Filling the gaps or pores naturally present on the travertine surface — without any processing — with special travertine cement or ready-made filling materials is called filling.
