Travertine pool coping pros and cons

In Asia and Europe, travertine is the organic stone that is mined from quarry sites. For indoor and outdoor flooring, this material is commonly used for designing tiles and pavers. They are also used for coping pools. Travertine pool coping is still one of several best solutions available to enhance the pool area's appearance and style. 

Travertine is available in various textures, shapes, and colors, allowing the freedom and the flexibility of designers and owners in order to create a special travertine pool. Travertine pavers that match with the entire look and feel of the place, irrespective of the structure of the pool or the coloring of the deck really is not hard to figure out  

Your builder can suggest the use of travertine drop face pavers if the pool is in in square shape. But if your pool is curvaceous and oblong travertine bullnose pavers would be more preferable. Tumbled pavers are also the preference for dealing with travertine pools since they are rugged but not too heavy on the skin. And when wet, they still make the surface safer because they provide friction. This ensures that on wet coping, you can move barefooted beyond the fear of falling. 

In hotels & restaurants, because of their timeless elegance and grandeur, you can also see travertine coping. Why not add the same opulence to the outside of your home? If you fully understand where to search, you can purchase travertine pavers of excellent quality at good prices. 

Travertine copings nowadays are built for quick and rapid installation and sealing. However, it's still a smart option to let professionals build them for you if you are not experienced with some of these kinds of projects. 

Travertine pool coping pros and cons:

• One of the key reasons why people want to seal their pavers is to make each paver look more colorful by bringing out the natural colors of the stone. 
• The sealer provides a stunning surface to the stone and really reflects the elegance of your expenditure. 
• Sealing the pavers is also an ideal way of protecting the stone from scratches and fungus. 
• The sealer penetrating deep into the pores of the travertine will maintain the natural texture of the stone, thus making sure that stains do not migrate and that mildew does not spread. 
• If your travertine is on a pool deck where visitors are often entertained, the sealer can make sure that unintended spillages from items such as juice and beverage cause minimal harm. 
• Finally, sealing also serves to safeguard against deterioration, especially in areas of high usage. 
• Travertine is really tough, but if you're using the paved area each day and then there is plenty of movement, wear and tear will happen. 
• One of the drawbacks of sealing your pavers is the lack of some of its water absorption. 
• This may mean that the pavers of your the pool are little more slippery than travertine unsealed. 
• However, this won't be much of a concern if you pick a sealer that sinks in rather than sitting on the surface. 
• The other thing is that you will have to keep your travertine sealed periodically. 
• You can have to seal your pavers each year or every another year, depending on the sealer you use and where you live. 
• The movement of the foot, sun, and other elements can wear the sealer away, affect the the appearance and reduce the efficiency of the sealer.
