My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Appropriate for pool application?

11 years ago
Hi. I'm interested in several of your travertine mosaics, (seashell split face/ honed etc) for the wall that separates my spa from my pool. This would have water from the spa flowing over it. Is the travertine frost proof and appropriate for pool applications? Thanks

    Hi Ulaz
    It depends on the thickness and the density of the stone. The thickness of this mosaic varies between 1/2'' and 3/4''. It is not appropriate for your application.
    Thanks
