-
ealed.
-
Excellent compressive and flexural strength (64–113 MPa, 9.7–14.3 MPa) – ideal for flooring, stairs, countertops, and high-traffic areas.
-
Freeze–thaw durable – retains strength after exposure to cold/humidity cycles.
-
Mohs hardness of 6 – more scratch-resistant than lighter travertine varieties.
-
Abrasion and impact resistance, PEI rating of 4 – suitable for medium to high foot traffic.
