Stone Patio Tiles: Travertine for Outdoor Use
Travertine is the most widely used natural stone for outdoor residential applications in warm climates. Its thermal properties, staying cooler underfoot than concrete or ceramic in direct sun, make it a practical patio and pool deck material. Ivory (Light), Silver Pewter Blend, Walnut, Noce, Scabos and Durango Cream Travertine are all represented in outdoor formats. For outdoor floors and patios, tumbled or brushed and chiseled travertine provides a non-slip surface. Verify outdoor suitability and freeze-thaw performance per SKU for your specific climate. Browse all travertine tile.
