Posted by Eric Barthelemy on July 9th, 2017

Travertine has always been a popular material when it comes to both indoor and outdoor pool coping, and it’s not surprising why. Travertine pool coping is known to for its beauty and durability.  Various iconic structures that still stand up to this day have been built with travertine. This just goes to show that this material is not only long lasting—it is also adaptable and timeless.

You may have to spend more for travertine pool coping than for concrete, but the extra money is certainly well worth it because travertine is a sturdier choice. Other materials easily break over time, and they may require more maintenance. Meanwhile, travertine copings are durable, easy to maintain, and can potentially increase the value of your home as well.

Aside from being sturdy and easy to maintain, travertine is also perfect for pool copings because it is heat-resistant and slip-proof. The material adapts to the temperature, so it can stay cool even under the summer sun. With travertine coping, you can now run or walk barefoot around the pool comfortably. Although travertine’s surface is smooth, it has more traction and grip that most materials. This makes travertine copings less slippery.

Because travertine is durable and easy to maintain, a travertine coping also proves to be more cost-efficient than other options. Most materials quickly depreciate in value and quality. Travertine, however, remains in good condition with minimal maintenance required. The material naturally prevents the growth of mildew and it also repels moss, making it pretty easy to clean.

When buying travertine, see to it that you order from a reputable dealer that can precisely provide you with the travertine coping that suits your pool. The best shops have a wide selection of travertine pool coping options that have luxurious patterns and versatile designs. Some dealers offer free samples that help you have a look and feel of the exact tiles that you are getting. There are copings that are designed to be user friendly, and you can install them even if you are not an expert. However, for the best results, it is ideal to seek the services of a professional to install or replace copings for you.
