ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRAVERTINE TILES FOR SWIMMING POOLS

Travertine pool tiling is the ideal solution for combining natural aesthetics, safety, and resistance. Thanks to its aged non-slip finishes, suitable sizes, and foot comfort, it perfectly adorns pool decks, patios, and coping. Whether you choose 3 cm natural travertine or 2 cm stone-effect porcelain stoneware, all our products are in stock. Find all the answers to your questions here to choose the right travertine pool covering.

Travertine pool tiling is a premium choice for pool surrounds. This natural stone is at once attractive, non-slip and weather-resistant. It offers a highly sought-after natural effect, particularly in beige shades, ivory or silver. Aged (tumbled) travertine is particularly suitable: its rough surface and aged finish offer comfort underfoot while ensuring safety. In addition, travertine tiling does not heat up in the sun, which is ideal for a pool deck or an outdoor terrace. With a thickness of 3 cm for the stone and 2 cm for the travertine-look porcelain stoneware, these products in stock guarantee a durable and resistant installation. At Minéral, you will find our complete guide to travertine.

The most commonly used formats around a pool are travertine slabs in Roman opus, 61x40.6 cm, or large rectangular formats such as 120x60 cm stone-effect porcelain stoneware. These formats provide a high-end look while making laying easier. As for finishes, we recommend the aged finish, also called tumbled, for its natural non-slip effect. This natural stone is porous but can be treated to improve its resistance to stains and moisture. It fits into rustic as well as contemporary settings, by mixing colours and shades for a harmonious result.

We recommend the aged finish, both rustic and naturally non-slip.

Each finish is tested to ensure optimum grip, even on a wet surface.

For an outdoor use around a pool, the recommended thickness is 3 cm for natural travertine. This thickness provides excellent durability over time, whether for a mortar-bedded installation or glued. For a maintenance-free alternative, the porcelain stoneware travertine-effect tiles are offered in 2 cm thickness, ideal for installation on pedestals or glued. Here are some products available in stock:

Yes, it is one of its great advantages. Thanks to its aged surface, travertine pool tile offers natural grip, even when wet. This reduces the risk of falls and ensures safe use, particularly for children. It is especially suited to pool decks, outdoor stairs or pool coping. Travertine has a porous structure that improves friction underfoot, while remaining pleasant to the touch.

Regular maintenance is simple but essential. Apply a water-repellent treatment (e.g. Lithofin Fleckstop) after installation to protect the stone against chlorinated water and stains. Use a gentle cleaning product, acid-free, stone-compatible (we recommend Lithofin Wash & Clean). Aged travertine tiles are also very tolerant of dirt, thanks to their natural roughness. An annual maintenance (brushing + rinsing) is enough to keep a clean appearance and a natural effect. If you choose travertine-effect porcelain stoneware, no treatment is necessary.
