Hello,
Long-time lurker, first-time poster.
We are building a pool in Florida. I need to choose a decking material that a) stays as cool as possible in the sun and b) has decent traction (so kids don't slip). Any recommendations?
Based on my own research, I'm thinking a light-colored travertine might be a good option. Travertine tiles come in 1.25" and 2" thickness. Would a thicker tile stay cooler in the sun, or does thickness not really affect heat absorption?
Thank you very much!
