Frequently Asked Questions

Where can Philly Travertine Tumbled French Pattern 3cm Paver - Premium be used?

This paver is used for pool and patio decks, walkways, and stepping stone layouts. The 1-3/16" (3CM) thickness is intended for exterior paver assemblies when the base, drainage, and setting method are planned correctly.

What does French Pattern mean for this Philly Travertine paver?

French Pattern uses multiple coordinating sizes instead of one repeated paver size. It creates a varied joint layout across larger pool decks, patios, and walkways.

Is the Tumbled finish suitable around pools?

The Tumbled finish gives the surface a matte, textured face with more grip than a polished finish. The listed DCOF value is 0.58 - 0.53, which is useful as a traction indicator, not a safety guarantee.

Pool decks still need proper slope, drainage, cleaning, sealing, and maintenance.

Does Philly Travertine need sealing?

Sealing is recommended for this material, especially outdoors and around pools, landscaping, and dining areas. Use a sealer suitable for exterior stone and follow the sealer manufacturer guidance.

Because Chemical/Acid Resistance is No, avoid acidic cleaners, vinegar, harsh descalers, and acidic spills when appropriate.

How is this paver sold?

Sold by SQFT. Full pallet only (176 sqft/pallet). Confirm the installed area, cuts, borders, pattern layout, and waste allowance before ordering.

What colors and design styles work with Philly Travertine?

Philly Travertine is listed with brown tones. Use nearby finish samples and project lighting to confirm the final palette, because natural stone can shift in appearance between sun, shade, wet, and dry conditions.

Philly Travertine can be coordinated with matching coping and cap pieces such as Philly Travertine Tumbled 16x48x2 Single Bullnose Coping - Premium, Philly Travertine Tumbled 14x48x2 Single Bullnose Coping - Premium.

How does Philly Travertine compare with concrete or porcelain pavers?

Concrete and porcelain pavers are often selected for greater uniformity, different maintenance expectations, or local installation preferences. Travertine typically benefits from sealing and stone-safe maintenance outdoors.
