The shade of the final product will differ compared to the sample you may receive or the images shown on this website, all natural paving products have colour variation within and between different batches. You must ensure that you are happy with the colour variation of the product you have received before you start laying, as after installation exchange will no longer be possible.
Ensure that you have all the required material to completely the whole project onsite before commencing any work. Open all your crates at the same time, taking material evenly from each of them. This will ensure you have a good distribution of colours across the whole paved area. DO NOT open one crate at a time using all the material before opening the next, this can result in uneven distribution of colours and can look unsightly.
We recommend that all customers read our product selection, maintenance & installation guides before purchasing.

Is Travertine Slippery Around Pools?
Travertine paving’s porous nature means that it easily absorbs water making it relatively nonslip. We would recommend using tumbled travertine coping around a swimming pool and not filling the surface of the stone with grout. This will help improve the slip resistance further.

We would additionally always recommend using a slurry primer when installing Travertine paving to help bond the slabs and the sub-base together. This will result in a greatly improved installation.
Can You Pressure Wash Travertine Paving?
Travertine paving can be cleaned with a pressure washer, but we would recommend firstly trying soapy water and a stiff brush, if this does not give you the desired results, then move onto a pressure washer. When cleaning with a pressure washer be careful not to get too close to the surface of the stone as this could damage the surface. After pressure washing you many need to apply an additional coat of sealant that could have been removed by the pressure washing.

Can You Seal Travertine Paving?
Yes, we would generally recommend sealing travertine paving slabs, this will give some additional protection against hard to remove stains and also help to further reduce the maintenance needs of the product. There is some debate about whether to seal travertine paving directly around swimming pools. Some suggest it is best not to seal as you want the stone to be as porous as possible to aid slip resistance, but this is a personal choice and depends greatly on your site conditions.
Is Travertine Good For Patios?
Travertine is an excellent paving material that is extremely dense. The reduced porosity of travertine paving means it is less susceptible to dirt penetration and therefore reduces maintenance and keeps this stunning product looking better for longer, but at the same time still maintaining a little porosity to help with slip resistance.
Is Travertine Good For Driveways?
None of the travertine products available on our website are suitable for driveways. You would need a product that is at least 50mm thick to give sufficient strength to take the weight of vehicular traffic. Usually when travertine is being used for a driveway small blocks are produced such as 200 x 50 x 50mm and these are laid in the same way you lay concrete block paving, this provides the additional strength needed to take the vehicular weight.
Is Travertine Paving Good Around Swimming Pools?
Travertine is the ideal material to be used around swimming pools. It has a good level of slip resistance due to it being a slightly porous material which helps draw water away from the surface and into the stone itself. It stays cool in hot temperatures and when tumbled can be very soft to the touch. With its extremely attractive appearance, travertine is the perfect choice for pool copings and surrounds.
The tumbled finish is an especially popular choice around swimming pools due to its soft edges and smooth surface finish. Travertine pool copings and paving slabs are available in the matching finish to help create a seamless link between pool and the surrounding garden.
