How We Work

Nothing is left to chance

After a careful selection process, the travertine blocks are unloaded at our factories, where they are prepared for processing. Each block can weigh over 20,000 kg. so precision and the meticulous attention to detail are essential during unloading

 This is why we employ a highly skilled team who, using of specialized machinery, ensures that every stage of the unloading process is completed successfully.

Cutting the Block with a Multi-blade Frame

The multi-blade frame allows for the simultaneous cutting and division of the block into multiple slabs, in two different ways: “cross cut” or “vein cut.” But what does this mean?

 

  1. CROSS CUT: Circular voids will appear on the surface of the cut block, and consequently on the slab.
  2. VEIN CUT: Elongated voids, following the direction of sedimentation, will appear on the surface of the block and the slab.

During cutting, a water jet is used to cool the slabs and remove excess dust, ensuring a clean and precise cut

Cutting the Block with a Single-blade Frame

The single-blade frame is an essential tool for processing travertine. Designed to square blocks and cut slabs of large thicknesses, it ensures precision and flawless finishes. With  its sturdiness and reliability, the single-blade frame is ideal for transforming travertine into high-quality elements, ready for use in architectural and design projects.

Grouting Phase
Cement-based grouting is always meticulously done by hand of our team. While hand grouting takes more time than mechanical grouting, it allows to have more refined and customized result.
