Travertine has become a popular paving material, offering a beautiful surface that is durable and easy to maintain. This stone has been used for centuries to build roads and buildings, dating back thousands of years. In fact, travertine was often used in ancient Rome and many of the buildings still exist today, a testament to its longevity as a building material. If you are considering building a pool deck, patio or driveway with travertine pavers, here are five benefits of using this durable stone in your home improvement project:

1. Porous for drainage control. Tumbled travertine pavers are porous, making them ideal for pool decks and other wet surfaces. Water is absorbed quickly, leaving a dry surface that is slip-resistant for safety.
2. Heat resistant. Another benefit of using travertine on surfaces where bare feet will be common is the heat resistance. The hot summer sun will not affect the surface of travertine, making it ideal for bare feet on your pool deck and patio.
3. Repairs. Unlike a solid paved surface, travertine pavers can be easily repaired by removing only the pavers that are damaged. This can save on repairs when and if any of your pavers crack or chip.
4. Travertine is extremely strong, withstanding up to 8000 psi. In most cases, travertine can handle more pressure than brick or cement pavers, making them ideal for driveways.
5. Beauty. Travertine is naturally beautiful, adding value to your home. These pavers come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes to create a gorgeous surface that will last.

Travertine is worth the investment for any paved surface around your home. Talk to your local paving company to learn more about the benefits of travertine for your next paving project.
