Sandblasted vs antiqued travertine

[Mattlar0806]

Hi guys,
I know the travertine in cold climates has been discussed at length and there are various opinions and travertine continues to be a popular product throughout my area (LI).
That being said, is there an expectation that sandblasted travertine should be even worse? The idea being the sandblasted product exposes the holes and porous nature even further?
Thanks

Good morning. Made any decision yet between the two?

Nope - leaning towards a marble as long as my wife is on board with color given our house is a light grey cedar shake. Very light but beige like color. it’s by far the best anti heat performance I’ve come across.

In my opinion, limestone is a better choice than travertine or marble.

Fwiw. - We put travertine coping in 5 years ago and its holding up so far. Philadelphia area.

Thanks. I originally thought we’d be going with crema Oliva. It’s another marmiro product. I have a crema Oliva sample in my backyard. But, unfortunately it’s a scorcher on the feet. It’s about 20 degrees hotter than the kasha marble listed above.
