Pattern sets

French pattern travertine sets.

The French pattern — also sold as Versailles pattern or opus pattern — is a repeating layout of four paver sizes that gives a terrace or pool surround a random, hand-laid look from a fixed module. We supply it as tumbled travertine sets with the four sizes packed in the proportions the pattern needs, sold by the m² like any other paver.

Thickness 20 mm or 30 mm, tumbled and unfilled as standard, in classic light and mixed beige tones and in silver. Matching 406 × 610 and 305 × 610 mm pavers, pool copings and steps come from the same batch. Three-size Roman pattern sets are produced on request.

Specifying for external use

Built for UK weather.

• Frost resistance — frost-resistant grades with freeze–thaw data to BS EN 12371, so the stone holds up through British winters.
• Slip resistance — pendulum / USRV values on request; tumbled or brushed finishes for external grip.
• Water absorption & strength — absorption and breaking-load data to BS EN 1341 (paving slabs) supplied with the material.
• Calibration — calibrated thickness and rectified edges for even joints and predictable laying.

External travertine paving is declared against BS EN 1341; CE marking is recognised in Great Britain with no UKCA retest. We deliver duty-paid in GBP, or supply CFR/CIF for buyers with their own forwarders.

How we source

Project-matched, samples first.

Send the format, finish, thickness and quantity — or a sample to match an existing terrace. We approach the relevant Denizli producer yards on your behalf, return comparative offers within three working days, and dispatch samples ahead of order confirmation. Every shipment carries proof of preferential origin (declaration on origin, or EUR.1), a CE Declaration of Performance, and BS EN 1341 test reports.

Common questions

Travertine paving — what UK buyers ask.

Is travertine paving suitable for the UK climate?

Yes, when you specify a frost-resistant grade. We supply freeze–thaw data to BS EN 12371 with the material, and recommend a tumbled or brushed finish plus an impregnating sealer for external use in British weather.

Which finish is best for outdoor travertine?

Tumbled or brushed finishes give the best slip resistance outdoors. Honed-and-filled is better suited to formal or covered terraces; for open patios and pool surrounds we usually advise tumbled, with holes left unfilled or grouted on site for drainage.

Do you supply matching pool copings and edging?

Yes — drop-face and bullnose copings, steps and edging are batch-matched to the paving so the colour stays consistent around a pool or terrace edge.

What is the minimum order for travertine paving?

From project quantities to full 20ft containers; smaller orders travel by groupage. A full container carries roughly 25 tonnes of stone, delivered duty-paid to your UK yard or site.

What are the downsides of travertine paving?

Travertine is porous and naturally holed, so it needs a frost-resistant grade, an impregnating sealer and occasional re-sealing. It is softer than granite or porcelain and can be etched by acidic cleaners, and unfilled tumbled finishes collect dirt in the holes. For a patio that needs almost no maintenance, porcelain is the easier choice.

Travertine or porcelain pavers — which should I specify?

Travertine is natural stone: it ages, stays cooler underfoot and suits pool surrounds and period houses. Porcelain is uniform, harder-wearing and close to maintenance-free. Our travertine vs porcelain paving guide compares the two on slip, frost, maintenance and cost.

Specification & supply

Paving formats, loads and lead times.

Unfilled, tumbled or brushed Denizli travertine for patios, terraces and pool surrounds, with copings and steps cut from the same material.

Container loads

Stone loads by weight, not volume: a 20 ft container carries about 25 tonnes, so thickness sets how many square metres fit. Figures are approximate and confirmed line by line on every quotation.

Supply

• Lead time — stock items about 2–3 weeks order-to-door, cut-to-order 5–6 weeks, bespoke 6–10 weeks; a firm window comes with every quote (trade terms).
• Samples — a sample pack goes out with the quotation, and before shipping we send photographs and a slab or crate list of the actual material allocated to your order.
• Delivery & offload — delivered duty-paid to your yard or site and invoiced in GBP. Crates and bundles are offloaded by your forklift as standard; truck-mounted forklift or crane can be arranged. You can also collect from our warehouse at the Port of Tilbury or the Port of Liverpool.
• Ordering — from project quantities to full 20ft containers; smaller orders travel by groupage, and containers can be mixed across colours, sizes and finishes. 60% with order, 40% against shipping documents within 3 banking days.
