Installation Guide – Romano 6″x12″ Tumbled Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide covers only the paver covering phase. Sub-base and bedding preparation must be completed by qualified professionals before installation.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay pavers to review natural color, veining, and tumbled texture variations.
- Arrange pieces in your chosen pattern (running bond, herringbone, basketweave, etc.) for visual balance.
- Snap chalk lines or use a laser level to mark straight reference lines for consistent placement.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Set each 6″x12″ paver gently onto the prepared bedding layer.
- Maintain uniform joint spacing of 1/8″–1/4″ to accommodate joint filler.
- Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to ensure full bedding contact and level alignment.
Step 3: Cutting & Edge Finishing
- Use a wet saw equipped with a diamond blade rated for travertine to achieve precise cuts.
- Support smaller pavers securely during cutting to prevent edge chipping.
- Smooth any exposed cut edges with a fine rubbing stone or sandpaper to preserve the tumbled finish.
Step 4: Joint Filling
- Fill joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-safe joint filler.
- Compact the surface gently and sweep away all excess filler.
- If using polymeric sand, mist lightly to activate bonding agents per manufacturer instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- After installation is fully dry, apply a breathable, penetrating sealer formulated for exterior travertine.
- Reseal every 1–2 years depending on exposure and foot traffic.
- Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaners only; avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone with inherent tonal variation, veining, and surface pitting. These characteristics are part of its unique charm and not defects. Always dry-lay and inspect materials before final installation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure long-term durability and optimal appearance.
