NOCE

    • Description:Beige compact limestone ("travertine") with "cloud-shaped" structure due to typical pore structure. The surface presents small openings that may or may not be filled (pores are usually filled when installed with adapted grout). Fossils can be present throughout the material.
    Origin:Turkey
    Material category:Travertine

    Arenado: A rough, fine-grained look and feel due to small impacts of tiny particles that are catapulted onto the surface at high speed. Gives the surface a very rough and natural feel, ideal for decorative and outdoor applications.
    Diamante: Scouring removes irregularities in height or unevenness on the surface. The scouring material is made of grains of industrial diamond that are exceptionally hard and extremely sharp.

    Noce: Turkish Compact Travertine

    Noce is a light-brown to beige compact travertine quarried in Turkey, characterised by a subtle cloud-like structure formed by the natural decomposition of small twigs and leaves within the stone. This crosscut variant shows the pore pattern as soft, irregular cloud shapes spread across the surface, giving each slab a quiet, organic character. Its warm, slightly darker tone sets Noce apart from its Italian counterpart Pietra Bicci, while sharing the same geological family. The earthy, walnut-tinted palette makes Noce equally suited to rustic, Mediterranean, and contemporary architecture, and it brings a grounded warmth to both indoor and outdoor applications.

    For a more linear, graphic appearance, the same stone is also available as Noce veincut, cut perpendicular to the sedimentary layers. Standard finishes include arenado and diamante, with other finishes available on demand.

    Indoor flooring, stairs and wall cladding are typically installed filled, with pores closed using adapted grout for a smooth, even surface, though unfilled is equally possible for a more textured, natural look. For outdoor applications, pores are left unfilled to allow drainage and to preserve the natural open texture. Fossils may be present throughout the material.

    Why Noce at Brachot?

    • Compact travertine with a distinctive cloud-like pore structure, lower porosity than standard travertine
    • Warm, walnut-toned beige that pairs equally well with rustic, Mediterranean, and contemporary architecture
    • Crosscut for a soft, cloud-shaped pattern; also available as veincut for linear banding
    • Indoor flooring, stairs, wall cladding and outdoor paving, with filled or unfilled options for interior use and unfilled for exterior
    • Standard finishes arenado and diamante, with other finishes available on demand
