Enrich Outdoor Flooring with Travertine Pavers

Posted by Stone-Mart on January 5th, 2016

New constructions today are all for sustainability, original design, and edge, which is why more and more property and building owners are on the lookout for higher quality materials that will not only set their building apart but add resale value to their overall structure. One material that is growing in popularity for outdoor use is travertine. Compared to cement pavers and similar types of products, travertine pavers make a safer, more elegant choice, especially for pool decks. Unlike cement, travertine doesn't absorb and retain too much heat, keeping your feet cool during summer. This is only one of the many advantages of this material over other traditional options.

Travertine pavers are made out of natural stone. They come in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, making them easy to mix and match to create an eye-catching, original look. Travertine pavers are exclusively designed for constructing outdoor paving, such as in pool decks and patios. They offer a unique, natural look because they are cut directly from pure, natural stone, using complex, natural, and environment-friendly processes.

Their unique and special look sets them apart traditional materials like brick and cement pavers. Apart from its outside appearance, travertine also offers innate properties that make it a good choice for a patio or pool deck material. A safer choice for families, travertine is considerably less slippery even when wet, so there are less worries of slipping, falling, and breaking bones when getting in and out of the pool. Travertine, therefore, adds safety to your pool deck.

Travertine pavers are extremely durable and resistant to different weather conditions. With the right choice of material, you don't have to worry about weather damage, although the material is also extremely easy to replace if damaged. This material is also highly resistant to discoloration, which is a common problem with pool decks. Because they don't gather debris (brick pavers for instance, are notorious for collecting moss), these pavers don't suffer similar problems and can retain its look for years to come.

Also worth mentioning, travertine pavers are extremely easy to clean, taking no more than several minutes to keep them dirt-free and sparkling again. This makes travertine the perfect choice for those who may not have the luxury of time to attend to their patio and pool decks on a regular basis, as these areas can remain beautiful and sleek without requiring extensive cleaning and maintenance.
