Why choose travertine pavers over other pavers?
When looking to buy paver stones for a new outdoor renovation, you’ll have plenty of options to consider. So why should you use travertine pavers from Travertine Mart? Let us give you just a few reasons!
Travertine pavers last a lifetime
If you’ve committed to putting your time, energy and money into an outdoor renovation that will leave your yard looking beautiful, you want to know that the investments you’ll make are going to last. Travertine pavers can stand the test of time, unlike other common types of pavers. While concrete pavers have an average lifespan of 1 – 3 years and brick pavers may last anywhere between 4 – 10 years, travertine pavers have a lifespan of over 100 years!
In fact, travertine is so long-lasting that it was the preferred building stone of Ancient Rome and was even used to build the Colosseum. If you’re looking for a paver that will last as long as you own your home (and longer), travertine is the perfect solution.
Travertine pavers offer supreme durability
One of the reasons that travertine pavers last so long is because they are so incredibly durable. Most other types of pavers will shift and crack over the years, but when installed properly, travertine pavers will stay in place and can bear up to 4 tons of weight without cracking!
Travertine pavers also have an 8,000 psi rating, meaning they can withstand up to 8,000 pounds per square inch. Other common pavers can’t stand up against travertine toughness.
Travertine performs better in all weather
Travertine stone performs better in all types of weather, including the cold Northern climates that are subject to the yearly freeze-and-thaw cycle. While concrete and brick often crack after repeated freeze cycles, travertine will stand tough in even the coldest climates.
Travertine also performs well in rainy weather or by the pool. Its porous surface absorbs water, lending traction and providing a no-slip surface that is safe for adults and kids.
Still looking for reasons to invest in travertine pavers? Consider the savings these types of stones will offer. When you buy paver stones from Travertine Mart, you’ll pay only $2.29 – $4.50 per square foot, and the results will last you a lifetime! Compare this to man-made pavers like brick or concrete, which may save you a fraction of a dollar at purchase, but will cost you a lifetime of upkeep and maintenance! Make the smart choice and invest in travertine pavers for a beautiful renovation project that will last.
