What Is Travertine Pool Coping & Spillover Gunite Spa?
Travertine is a natural stone that is harvested from quarries in Europe and Asia. This material is widely used for making tiles and pavers for interior and exterior floorings. They are used to make pool copings, too. Did you know that Travertine pool coping remains one of the finest choices in the market for enhancing the look and functionality of the pool area?
Travertine is available in different textures, shapes, and colors, giving homeowners the flexibility to create unique pool copings. If the pool is rectangular, our designers may recommend using travertine drop face pavers. But if your pool is round and curvy, then travertine bullnose pavers may be more appropriate. Travertine is ready for use in a variety of sizes, finishes, and styles, including roman walnut, coral-stone, ivory, ivory swirl, tumbled bullnose, silver, and other finishes that make your pool area look genuinely outstanding.
Does Travertine Make A Good Pool Coping?
Travertine pool coping remains one of the finest choices in the market for enhancing the look and functionality of the pool area.
Tumbled and honed pavers are often the choice for travertine pool coping because they are rough yet not too harsh on the skin. They also make the surface safer even when wet because they offer friction. This means that you can walk barefoot on wet coping without fear of slipping. Travertine is an ideal material for pool coping for a couple of reasons. The first reason is this stone is cooler to the touch when compared to other stones. The second reason is it offers a high level of slip-resistance, making it safer for wet feet of all ages.
You will often see travertine coping in hotels and resorts because of their enduring beauty and grandeur. Why not bring the same luxuriousness to your home’s outdoor area? Gappsi offers high-quality travertine pavers at great prices.
Give Your Pool A Unique Look With Travertine Pavers
Natural stone pavers are commonly installed in pool areas of luxurious homes because of their beauty and their practicality. Travertine pavers are particularly popular. They are available in a variety of colors and shapes, offering design flexibility. There’s something about a travertine pool deck that is understatedly elegant. Aside from its enduring beauty, travertine also offers many other benefits.
Since this natural stone absorbs water, it keeps the pool area safe. Accidents like slipping can be minimized. Travertine pavers can keep themselves cool even when they are exposed to heat. In fact, they are 20% cooler than concrete pavers and other natural stones.
Travertine, like marble, is durable and strong. With proper care, its color and slip resistance capability will remain the same for a long time, thus preserving the elegance and safety of your pool area.

The key to keeping your travertine pavers in excellent condition is proper and regular care. Clean the deck at least once a year using a pressure washer. You can also scrub the pavers with a brush. However, avoid using harmful cleaners that can damage the integrity of the natural stone. Gappsi offers Cleaning and Sealing services for Paving Stone Patios, Driveways, and Retaining Walls.
Are You Considering Adding A Spa To An Existing Inground Swimming Pool?
Even if your pool’s already in the ground, you can add a spa to it. Are you thinking of adding a spillover spa that will be an add-on to your existing pool? Its outer edge will at least be partly in the pool, which is why it’s called a spillover. The water from your spa might flow into your pool as people get in and out of it.
The spillover spa looks clean and fits right into your existing pool design. Alternatively, you might consider installing an in-ground spa separate from your pool. This option can be designed to blend into the natural landscape with rocks, plants, and trees.
You might prefer a naturalistic, standalone spa, but keep in mind that it may end up costing more than the spillover spa.
The Spillover Gunite Spa is the Easier Option
Your spillover spa will be built into your existing pool. That means you won’t need to buy a second pump to keep your spa clean. Instead, both it and the pool can run on the same pump, saving you money and time on spa maintenance.
Cost isn’t the only thing that makes a spillover spa more appealing. Many people who have installed a spillover spa love the convenience of it. They can jump from the warm waters to the cool waters for a refreshing dip that segues into a relaxing float.
With a spillover spa, you get all of the benefits of having a hot tub, too. It helps you relax and relieve stress and adds value to your property. Why wouldn’t potential buyers want to have a pool-and-spa combo in their backyard?
Finally, a spillover spa looks excellent, too. It’s a streamlined addition to your pool, and it makes the setup appear that much more luxurious. You, your family, and your guests will love using it for years to come.

Marble Pavers Pool Copings In Brookville NY
Gappsi Stone Collection | Marble G043
Gappsi just completed this project in Roslyn Harbor NY. We installed a 25×60 gunite pool. The pool is equipped with a very large sundeck and a spa raised and centered at the sundeck, spilling over into the pool. The coping for the spa and the pool is Indiana Limestone and the patio we used Italian porcelain. Underneath the coping waterline we used porcelain tiles. We also used these as tiles markers at the edges of the steps in front of the spa there is a very large bench and steps to go down into the pool. In the back we build a raised patio with 2 columns and spill over water ball with LED lights underneath the raised patio coping. We installed 3 led sheer descends the rest of the patio was veneered with quartzite stones. The pool finish is diamond bright tahoe blue in the center of the pool. We installed a mosaic of 3 dolphins swimming around a ball. the pool is 5 feet deep at its deepest it is not a diving pool, it is more of a play pool. We installed 6 led laminar spilling into the pool. The pool has plenty of water features and LED lights.
20×55 Gunite pool totally completed with the patio and the landscaping. The pool has a spa, and a sundeck. The finish is a super blue quartz diamond bright, we installed bluestone coping for the swimming pool, autocover box and spa. There is a diving board and an auto cover. We did a stand ledge along one side of the pool. This way the kids from the diving board can just go to the right, step on the ledge and walk to the steps. The patio pavers are Gappsi natural stones.
This Gunite swimming pool was built in 1960 and it lasted for about 60 years, in the last 4 years for some strange reason the pool shel started developing some cracks and got worse every year to the point that the pool totally cracked in half and started licking badly to the point of not being repareble. The cost of replacing this gunite swimming pool would have been tremendous and the clients had no budget for that. Not only the cost of redoing the pool but also the cost of removing the old pool and all the damage that would have accrued to the yard and the landscaping , irrigation fence and the entire patio would have needed to be replaced. We proposed to remodel the pool and reshape the inside to accommodate a custom vinyl liner, we added a sundeck with 12 inches of water and reshape the pool deep end to make it more with straight ankles instead of a bowl shape that it’s usually a gunite. This gunite swimming pool conversion came out very nice. We used a liner with a pattern of a terrazzo looking finish that makes the pool look like it’s a gunite pool with no border at the top. When doing a Gunite To Vinyl Conversion it’s expected that the liner might show some imperfections or some minor wrincles, the clients has to understand that a vinyl pool construction is built with angles a gunite pool is more rounded shaped inside, and the liners are a little more difficult to be measured.
We just completed this gunite remodeling in Northport NY. We removed the old patio and installed new coping, new porcelain tiles and a waterfall. We paved the entire patio with the New G044 white and gray limestone. Very beautiful stones, everybody loves them. In the pool we installed porcelain tiles 6″ water line porcelain tiles. We marble dusted the pool with dark gray marble dust. The spa was also remodeled and re marble dusted with all new equipment . New pump, new filters, new ozone system, new salt chlorine generator. The color of the marble dust with the reflection of the sky gives a very deep blue color to the pool water . The next step is the landscaping. We will be doing some planting and trees behind the waterfall.
