Which travertine color suits a pool deck?
Ivory is a light cream travertine with soft ivory and sand tones and the small natural pits travertine is known for. Chiaro is close to it, a light cream with ivory and sand tones. Light Select is a light beige chosen for an even color from piece to piece, while Light Standard is the same light beige with more natural change between pieces. Latte is a shade deeper than Ivory, a warm travertine in honey, tan and cream. No pure white travertine is listed here, so for a white travertine pool deck the closest choices are Ivory and Chiaro, light cream travertines with ivory and sand tones, and Light Select, a light beige.
Brown and gray travertine for a pool
Walnut is a warm caramel and walnut brown with darker brown movement, and Noce is a deeper chocolate and walnut brown with lighter tan swirls. Mocha Noce is a brown travertine with taupe and mushroom tones. For a silver travertine pool deck, Silver is the gray travertine here, a silver-gray with brown and beige movement running through it, and a good fit for a modern travertine pool deck next to white walls or dark coping.
What are Scabos and Country Classic?
Scabos and Country Classic are blended travertines. Scabos mixes gold, rust, beige and gray, so no two pieces are alike and the deck reads as a lively, rustic surface. Country Classic is a rustic travertine that mixes cream, ivory and walnut tones with rust and gray spots. Both suit Mediterranean and farmhouse homes, and both run in several sizes up to 24x24.
What sizes do travertine pool pavers come in?
Squares run from 6x6 and 8x8 up to 12x12, 16x16 and 24x24, and rectangles include 6x12, 8x16, 12x24 and 16x24. Scabos and Latte come in the widest range of sizes, Ivory leans to the smaller squares and 8x16, and Light Select runs from 8x8 and 6x12 through 24x24. Latte, Scabos, Noce, Walnut, Light Select and Country Classic all come in 24x24, Noce, Latte, Scabos, Light Select, Light Standard, Mocha Noce and Country Classic in 16x24, and every color except Light Standard also comes in a 6x6, 8x8 or 6x12 piece. More in these two sizes are in 24x24 pavers and 16x24 pavers.
French and Roman pattern travertine sets
Pattern sets combine several sizes into one repeating layout for a travertine pool patio with an old world feel. French pattern sets here come in Chiaro, Silver, Walnut, Noce, Light Select and Country Classic, and Ivory comes as a Roman pattern set. More pattern sets in travertine, marble and limestone are on the French pattern page.
Why choose tumbled travertine around a pool?
Tumbled travertine is a classic pool deck stone. The tumbling rounds every edge and softens the face, so a new deck looks worn in from the first day, and the natural pits and color shifts of travertine make each paver a little different from the next. The light creams give a classic, Mediterranean deck, the browns give a warm, Tuscan feel, and Silver moves the same stone toward a cooler, modern palette.
Matching coping at the water's edge
The Chiaro Pool Coping paver in 16x24 is listed here alongside the deck pavers. It is a coping piece for the pool edge, not a tumbled deck paver, and it lets the edge of the pool be finished in the same Chiaro stone as the deck. More coping shapes and colors are in travertine pool copings, and travertine pavers that are not listed for pools are in travertine pavers.
