Abarkouh Travertine 40xL Longitudinal Plaque is a premium sedimentary facade stone quarried in the mineral-rich Abarkouh region of Yazd Province, Iran. Fabricated in a seamless Cross-Cut (fleuri) direction, this lot showcases an inviting, warm palette of light cream, beige, and soft ivory tones accented by gentle, homogeneous cloudy movement[cite: 8]. Treated with high-grade epoxy fillers and multi-stage diamond abrasives, these 40 cm wide longitudinal plaques feature a smooth, mirror-like polished surface that delivers luxury aesthetics at a competitive project cost.
In architectural applications, Abarkouh Travertine 40xL plaques are extensively specified for exterior building facades—spanning grand Roman classical, neoclassical, and contemporary elevations—as well as interior lobby walls, corridors, and staircases. Thanks to its reliable UV color stability and freeze-thaw resistance, it maintains its bright appearance across diverse climates. The natural backside cavities allow cement mortar to interlock mechanically with the stone, ensuring exceptional bond strength while adding minimal dead load to the structure.
For safe and durable installation on exterior facades and vertical walls, mechanical anchoring using stainless steel or galvanized scope clips must accompany standard polymer-modified cement mortar. To preserve the glossy finish, avoid cleaning with acidic detergents. Applying a breathable penetrating nano-sealer after installation and rinsing periodically with clean water and pH-neutral cleaners will keep the facade pristine for generations.
