Recently one of the readers of our blog emailed us a question asking if travertine tile is an excellent choice to be used around a pool area.  They are tired of their pavers and were considering travertine.

Our answer is yes, travertine tiles are beautiful and come in a variety of patterns and colors.  While travertine is porous, just like all natural stone, a quality sealing will protect its good looks for years to come.

Travertine is also:

  • A good insulator. Cement, ceramic, and porcelain tiles can get ridiculously hot under SW Florida’s blazing sun.  Switching to travertine eliminates this problem because this natural stone reflects the heat from sun rays while absorbing the cool of the ground underneath it. Even on the hottest day of summer, homeowners will not burn their toes, and travertines cooler surface will cut down on some poolside crying from youngsters and any four-letter words from adults.
  • Travertine is slip-proof. Aside from being cool to the touch, travertine pavers have another advantage: You won’t have to worry about falling on your rear end with them in place. Due to the porous quality of the stone’s surface, water is absorbed, preventing any hazardous puddles from forming around your pool deck. If you have kids, this safe surface is a definite perk. Water inevitably splashes across a pool deck, so having a slip-free playing ground can give parents some peace of mind.
