Travertine Stone Fireplace
Travertine Stone Fireplace What is Travertine? The word ‘travertine’ is derived from the Italian travertino, which is actually derivation from the Latin word tiburtinus ‘of Tibur.’ Its namesake is also the origin of Tivoli, which is a district near Rome. Naturally, Travertine is one of the most popular building materials across Italy. It is known for its stunning and unique texture. Travertine in its natural environment comes from limestone deposited through mineral springs, typically hot springs, and it has a very special appearance, a combination of aged rock, natural stone veins, or even a fibrous look formed when certain minerals are dissolved by groundwater. Another cool fact about Travertine is that across Europe, in counties like Croatia, Italy, and Turkey, Travertine forms natural lakes and dams across the landscape.  No other natural stone product has the same texture level or can deliver the same caliber of finish. Its weathered look characterizes the classic,…
Lightweight Masonry Products
lightweight masonry products Masonry is one of the oldest construction materials in the world. Masonry is one of the most durable and beautiful construction material products in the world. It forms an integral part of the design, engineering, and architecture of historic buildings worldwide. All Tuscan Stoneworx Masonry products are cast and manufactured utilizing crushed limestone as a part of the mix design. One of the key benefits of working with masonry products is its durability. Durability in traditional construction materials comes at a price, and that price is weight. Traditional masonry products are solid or full-cast, and they are heavy. Resulting in additional engineering, mechanical fixings, and reinforcement being incorporated into the design, which comes at a cost. Ultimately if a masonry product is incorporated in a design for aesthetic purposes, there is no need for it to be full-cast. The ‘wear’ depth on the material’s surface will never…

Lightweight Limestone
Lightweight Limestone Limestone is one of the oldest construction materials in the world. You can see this highly durable and beautiful product forming part of the construction of historic buildings around the world. However, the other attribute that goes hand in hand with limestones durability and beauty is its weight. Full cast limestone is an extremely heavy material. For centuries, the product formed part of the building’s structural elements; hence, it was acceptable. Times Change In modern times, limestone is utilized for more aesthetic and architectural purposes, not structural. This results in additional engineering, mechanical fixings, and reinforcement being incorporated into the design, which comes at a cost.  There is no need for an aesthetic product to be fully cast in deep sections, as the wear depth on the surface of the material is never more than several millimeters over its lifetime. This realization, combined with the birth of CNC…
