Gauinger Travertin is a distinctive brown travertine originating from Germany. This natural stone features a warm, earthy palette with a characteristic porous surface that highlights its sedimentary origins. The grain is generally uniform, offering a rustic yet elegant aesthetic suitable for both interior and exterior applications. It is ideal for flooring, wall cladding, and decorative elements where a natural, organic look is desired. Suitable finishes include honed, brushed, or natural textures to enhance its tactile quality. Marmi di Carrara supplies Gauinger Travertin in blocks, standard slabs of 2 or 3 cm, and cut-to-size pieces. We provide high-resolution photos of actual slabs before purchase to ensure you select the exact shade and pattern of this German travertine.

Noce Travertine: the complete guide
Overview
Noce Travertine is a travertine in brown and hazelnut tones, with the typical porous banded structure. It is chosen to bring warmth and a natural feel to both interiors and outdoor spaces.
History and origin
It is an imported travertine, widely available on the international market in various dark shades. Travertine is one of the most used stones in the history of Mediterranean architecture and Noce is its warmest version. Today it is much in demand for floors, façade cladding and pool surrounds. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Appearance
The background alternates dark brown, hazelnut and beige bands. Vein-cut it shows linear veining, cross-cut a clouded appearance; the natural cavities can be filled or left open. Honed, it looks smooth and uniform; brushed and tumbled, it becomes more rustic and aged.
Uses
Suitable for interior and exterior floors, cladding, bathrooms, stairs, terraces and pool surrounds, with non-slip finishes outdoors. Less suitable for kitchen worktops, where porosity and acid sensitivity require a great deal of care.
Care and maintenance
Clean with a neutral detergent and treat with a water- and oil-repellent to be renewed regularly, especially outdoors. Avoid acids and limescale removers. Fillings that empty over time can be restored.
