Travetino Corteccia Tiles by Poggi

COLOR: The corteccia is one of the most elegant and delicate travertine due to its very distinct streaks of color by which onyx stones are its protagonist. The streaks of color vary from white to terracotta and, at times, silvery shadings.

AVAILABILITY: It is located in our quarry, with high availability.

WORKABILITY: It is suitable for all types of processing. Possible realizations: tiles, mosaics, sculptures, statues, vases, plant racks, lamps, tables, chairs, benches, fireplaces, balusters, fences, stairs, columns, fountains, swimming pools, bathrooms, toilets, bidets, shower trays, bath tub, sinks, kitchen countertops, libraries, ornamental carpets, flooring and cladding, coverings, furniture, objects of all kinds, interior/exterior design, etc.
