The industry standard thickness for travertine pavers is 1.25″ (3 cm).

This thickness is typically well-suited for a range of residential applications: pool decks, patios, and even driveways. However, when planning a driveway installation, the size of the travertine paver becomes an important factor to consider. In general, smaller sizes like 6×12 travertine pavers tend to perform better under vehicular traffic due to reduced surface area and greater load distribution.

While we have seen many successful driveway projects using 6×12 travertine pavers, as well as some that incorporate larger sizes, every installation is unique. Factors such as sub-base preparation, installation method, soil conditions, and vehicle load can all influence long-term performance. We always recommend consulting with an experienced installer to assess suitability for your specific project.

For commercial settings, additional considerations may apply, and different installation methods or thicker materials might be necessary to meet higher performance demands. We strongly recommend working with a qualified installer to determine the best approach for your specific project, whether residential or commercial.
