Where to use Azarshahr Travertine Stone
Azarshahr Travertine is a wavy-textured red travertine quarried near Kalavanq, about 15 km along the Azarshahr–Bonab road in East Azerbaijan. It suits both indoor and outdoor use: modern and Roman facades, interior feature walls, window frames, columns and capitals, yard paving, slabs and stairs.
Appearance and texture
Azarshahr Travertine is a red travertine with a wavy texture. The wavy structure shows as flowing bands and veins running through the red ground, so the face reads as layered and directional rather than plain. Depending on whether the stone is polished, honed or leathered, the same wavy pattern appears either smooth and reflective or more matte and structured. Red tone and banding vary naturally from batch to batch and can differ slightly from photographs.

How to choose
Match thickness, finish and grade to the application, and confirm the details below in writing with the seller before ordering.
- For facades and columns, use 3 cm thickness in export or super grade with a honed or leathered finish
- For yard paving and stairs, specify 3 cm calibrated pieces and leathered finish, and ask for pieces of the same quarry batch
- For interior lobby walls and window frames, polished 2 cm slabs or tiles keep a smooth, reflective face
- Ask which treatment (resin or epoxy) and which grade the order will be supplied in, and request a test report for the same shipment
- Confirm dimensions (tile, slab, linear, stair or facade) and finish per item before the final invoice is issued

Where is Azarshahr Travertine extracted from?
Azarshahr Travertine is quarried from the Kalvanq region in East Azerbaijan. This quarry area, located approximately 15 kilometers along the Azarshahr-Bonab road, is recognized for supplying natural red travertine featuring distinct wavy structural veins.
What are the documented compressive strength and water absorption values for this stone?
Azarshahr Travertine has a reference compressive strength of approximately 64.7 MPa (around 660 kg/cm²) and water absorption of roughly 0.2%. It also has an inherent porosity of approximately 8%. Long-term exterior performance depends on correct resin processing and professional installation.
Which surface finishes are available for Azarshahr Travertine?
This stone is available in polished, honed, and leathered finishes. Processing options also include resin and epoxy filling as well as calibrated cut sizing to fit diverse interior cladding, flooring, and exterior facade requirements.
How does Azarshahr Travertine differ visually and conceptually from Abbasabad Travertine?
The primary difference lies in tone and design intent. While Abbasabad Travertine offers a light cream and white palette suited for minimalist or classic schemes, Azarshahr Travertine features vibrant reddish tones and wavy veining designed for warm, contrasting architectural accents.
What installation and selection practices are specified for exterior facades?
Exterior facade installations require mechanical anchoring systems to support long-term safety and structural attachment. Additionally, selecting batches with consistent sorting, vein direction, and thorough pore filling with quality resin is necessary to prevent color discrepancies and weather vulnerability.
What architectural elements can be clad with Azarshahr Travertine?
Beyond exterior building facades, this travertine is used for interior lobby walls, staircase cladding, window frames, columns, and decorative accents. It is also processed as slabs and applied in landscape and courtyard perimeter settings.
