    Travertine outside?

    Hi all, A mate of mine wants his outside step tiling and is really keen on travertine. Do you think it will be ok outside, I'm not sure and said I'd find out. I would have thought its a bit soft to last outside, is it ok with high grade trav? Your thoughts appreciated, cheers.
