We have a $2-3M luxury waterfront home in Florida with a pool/spa behind it. Currently have a GC laying down all new travertine around the rear of house and pool area. When we chose samples, we picked a travertine with smooth or honed finish which is also what we have at our other house up in North Carolina, and are used to. That said, the GC apparently ordered "leathered" travertine so it has a rough finish on the top and is not perfectly smooth.
Is this an upgrade? Should we have any concerns about having leathered vs a smooth finish around the pool area? I have seen smooth travertine used 80-90% of the time and was just caught off guard by this? I am surprised the GC didn't ask us before placing this order.
