As Aussies, we love an outdoor lifestyle – meaning many spend their days at the beach, in parks, or by having a pool for our Australian summers, both to use and entertain with.

When it comes to your pool, choosing the right paving material for your pool paving and coping can be overwhelming.

At APC, we have a wide range of paving options for your pool surrounds and our friendly, expert staff can also provide paving designs and ideas to complement your home and of course, to suit your budget!

Travertine is the ideal choice for your pool paving and pool coping.

benefits of travertine for your pool

• Cool under foot, even when in full sun!
• Travertine absorbs more water than any other paving material
• It comes in a range of sizes as well as the popular French Pattern plus matching coping such as bullnose and drop face
• Light colour shades in Travertine are 20-30% cooler than other natural stones and concrete pavers
• Being slip resistant, Travertine is relatively safer
• Travertine is elegant, unique and timeless and will elevate your pool space
• Is a natural stone that is salt resistant
• It is extremely strong and heat resistant so its colour won’t fade over the years making your pool ‘age-resistant’ as well
• It’s made of calcareous rocks deposited from mineral springs so it’s an environmentally friendly choice and looks impressive!
• Travertine comes in pavers and tiles. This means you can use the one product for around your pool, entertaining space and continue inside your home

Colour, pattern, texture and particularly surface of your pavers and tiles are important, especially when they are being chosen for pool surrounds.

A variety of pavers and tiles are usually chosen for pool surrounds; however, nothing compares to the benefits of having Travertine.
