Laying patterns
Opus romanum
A repeating composition of several formats, often four, giving an irregular look while staying modular. The pattern of travertine and homes with character.
In short
- Four formats combined
- Irregular yet modular
- The module must be respected
When to choose it
Tumbled natural stone, travertine, Mediterranean or rustic interiors.
Points to watch
Respect the module to avoid unintended joint lines.
How we do it
Dry layout on one area first to approve the look.
