What would be best natural stone for my pool deck?

Dear Mr. Maurizio, we are building a pool deck in our Florida home, and I wondered if you could help us pick the appropriate stone for it. We found some very nice light colored marble, travertine and limestone pieces, but I just know too little about their properties and suitability for the project. Temperature and slippery are of course major concerns we have. Thanks, Mario

 

Dear Mario:

Among the stones you listed, travertine is the best. If you buy it saw-cut and unfilled, you will not have any slipperiness issue.

And make sure that they won't talk you into sealing it!

 

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?

Ciao and good luck,

Mauri z io Bertoli
