Author: landscapeexpertSubject: travertine best stone for pool deck?Posted: 09 Dec 2009 at 5:38amTravertine pavers are ideal for outdoors. I read through some arguements later on this forum. I wanted to clarify a few things for the readers. I have been using travertine pavers since 2004 as a landscaper. From 2005 to 2007 I have imported them from Turkey directly myself. I have stopped importing because I am able to reach very good prices locally now and it did not make sense to order directly and carry all the inventory. I must start with saying that the best quality in the market right now is from Turkey. I have heard about travertine pavers from Peru, which finally I was able to see some 2 months ago, my thoughts are that although it has an interesting look, it is not durable at all. Peru is on a newer continent, where travertine has not completed its evolution process yet. It takes millions of years for travertine to develop. Other issue here is some thoughts on tumbled pavers and holes and etc. I must clarify: -Travertine pavers are ideal for outdoors -Tumbled travertine must be used for pool decks and decks to prevent slipping and also for irrigation purposes. -Chiseled travertine, no larger than 6x12 size, should be used for driveways. Chiseled edge is for the tires to grab on, and the honed surface is for not absorbing a potential oil spill immediately. -Travertine is a porous stone, but do not confuse pores with holes. Pores are necessary to prevent slips. Holes mean that the travertine is not premium grade. Make sure to ask your supplier that you want premium grade travertine pavers and nothing else. -Tumbled does not mean low quality. It means that the edges are rounded to prevent sharp corners and the surface is lightly aged for feet to grab on to the surface. If you need any further advise, feel free to contact me.
