Abyaneh Travertine 40xL Longitudinal Plaque is one of Iran's most sought-after sedimentary calcium carbonate facade stones, quarried from the mineral-rich Abyaneh region of Natanz County in Isfahan Province. Fabricated in a seamless Cross-Cut (fleuri) direction, this lot showcases a bright, inviting palette of ivory, light cream, and soft beige tones accented by gentle, homogeneous cloudy movement. Treated with UV-stable epoxy resin fillers and multi-stage diamond abrasives, the 40 cm wide longitudinal plaques feature a smooth, mirror-like polished surface and precision-cut square edges that deliver luxury aesthetics at a highly competitive project cost.
In architectural and structural design, Abyaneh 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 weather resistance, it maintains its bright appearance across both cold mountainous regions and hot arid climates. The natural un-resined cavities on the backside of each plaque 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 multi-story exterior facades, mechanical anchoring using stainless steel or galvanized scope clips or wire anchors must accompany standard polymer-modified cement mortar to safeguard against seismic activity and thermal expansion. To preserve the glossy finish and protect the calcium-based matrix over time, avoid cleaning with acidic detergents or chemical descalers. Applying a breathable penetrating nano-sealer after installation and rinsing periodically with clean water and pH-neutral cleaners will keep the facade bright for generations.
