Travertine Guide
Travertine stays cool underfoot and reads high-end — here is when to spec it.
Travertine is a natural limestone with a signature pitted, banded look. It is the go-to hardscape for pool decks because it stays notably cooler than concrete under sun.
Common finishes
- Tumbled — soft, aged edges.
- Honed — smooth, low-sheen face.
- Brushed — subtly textured, non-slip.
