Author: apctjbSubject: travertine best stone for pool deck?Posted: 09 Jan 2010 at 11:37pm I also am considering travertine tile or pavers for a pool deck project. The pool has an existing concrete deck. As there is an existing concrete deck I assume I could use tile or pavers? Does anyone know if pavers can be used set directly on the concrete deck? What would be the pros and cons of using pavers rather than tile? There is approx 3000 sqft of existing deck to cover. Thanks

Author: schlengSubject: travertine best stone for pool deck?Posted: 19 Dec 2009 at 9:48pmI dont agree with most of your comments. 1. Best quality travertine is from Turkey.This is a matter of opinion. I have seen travertine installations where the stone came from both places. I am not saying that ALL travertine from Turkey is inferior, but the travertine from Peru was far superior and breathtakingly beautiful. In addition, Italy has top notch travertine. 2. Peru is a new continent and it takes millions of years for travertine to develop.All of the continents are billions of years old.http://research.unc.edu/endeavors/spr97/ur.html 3. Tumbled travertine must be used to prevent slipping around pools.Travertine is not slippery by nature. It does not have to be tumbled to not be slippery. 4. Chiseled travertine, no larger than 6x12 size, should be used for driveways and the chiseled edges are for the tires to grab on; the honed surface is for not absorbing a potential oil spill immediately.I dont know why a tire would grab onto a chiseled edge. Also, just because travertine is chiseled does not mean that it is honed. 5. Holes mean that the travertine is not premium grade. I agree with you here! 6. Tumbled travertine is rounded so to avoid sharp corners. Surface is lightly aged (?) for the feet to grab onto. When travertine is laid correctly, there are no sharp corners. As mentioned above, one of the advantages of travertine is that it is not slippery.Edited by findstone - 21 Dec 2009 at 7:20pm

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.
