The warm, slightly rough texture of travertine has attracted people since antiquity. It was from this stone that the Colosseum was built, it was it that was used in the construction of the colonnade of St. Peter's Cathedral in the Vatican and the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Time passes, but the rough yellowish stone still adorns the interiors and facades of buildings. It is used in interiors of the "minimalism" style and for rooms in industrial style. But travertine especially attracts fans of natural materials - its characteristic texture and pleasant colors guarantee a cozy atmosphere and a feeling of stable tranquility. Now, when the eco-theme is on everyone's lips, travertine has become one of the most popular trends - along with wood elements, natural stone allows a person to feel close to nature, to escape from the dynamic pace of a modern metropolis and relax.
Of course, sometimes travertine itself cannot be used - but this is not a reason to abandon the current Italian style or the harmonious atmosphere of a cozy home. The travertine effect can be easily created with Capatect ArmaReno 700 and, for example, Sylitol Antik-Lasur - a comfortable texture and an eye-pleasing, soothing color will be indistinguishable from a real stone, while meeting the highest requirements of modern technology.
Indeed, this innovative product is good not only for its aesthetic qualities. German technologies of the Caparol brand have made it possible to create a coating that combines functionality, environmental friendliness and reliability. Water-repellent properties in accordance with DIN EN 1067 make the material extremely wear-resistant and convenient for use both indoors (where, if necessary, walls can be washed without fear that they will lose their appearance), and outside the building (autumn rains and winter thaws are not terrible for the coating Capatect ArmaReno 700). The increased resistance to weathering is also a hallmark of the material.
As you know, walls made of natural materials "breathe", due to which a special atmosphere arises in the house, and the microclimate does not harm the health of residents. Coating Capatect ArmaReno 700 practically does not differ in its properties from real travertine - it is vapor-permeable and allows fresh air to freely enter the house. By the way, emissions and toxic fumes are removed from the house with the same success - if, say, you have new furniture or elements of decoration made of synthetic materials, their smell will go away quickly enough. So, in addition to the strict harmony of the external appearance, which has not lost its relevance since the time of the Roman emperors, the travertine effect coating will provide your home with excellent ventilation.
Environmentally friendly, like all materials of the Caparol brand, Capatect ArmaReno 700 is suitable not only for private homes or business centers, but also for hospitals or childcare facilities - by the way, children are unlikely to be able to write or draw something on the walls of the school where it is used. this material because it is very stable. An additional plus is the incombustibility of the coating with this product. If you apply it on the escape routes, the uniform style of the building and the Romanesque color will not only please the eye, but also fully meet the requirements of fire safety.
Practically indistinguishable from natural stone, the coating allows you to choose a color scheme for both facades and interior design. For example, you can stylize the interior in the old Mediterranean style, giving preference to the color of the "old" stone - warmer, rich brownish-yellow shades. If you are creative in the choice of furniture and complement the premises with the appropriate decor elements, you can easily create an entourage suggestive of antique furnishings and precious wood finishes, and create an atmosphere of stability, prosperity and time-tested harmony. The cooler, younger shades of travertine imitations are perfect for minimalist interiors. Eco-style allows you to combine and vary different color solutions, playing with the mood and accents in the interior. The possibilities are wide and allow you to implement a variety of design solutions.
Travertine traditionally belongs to the group of marble - indeed, if a natural rock is held under great pressure for several millennia, this noble stone will turn out from it. In the next article, we will continue the theme of Mediterranean style, and turn to the lovers of Greek antiquity - those who prefer the effect of marble to travertine.
