Installation Guide – Anthic Onyx Tumbled 6″x12″ Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide covers the paver placement phase only. Proper sub-base preparation, drainage, and bedding installation must be completed in advance by qualified professionals.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay multiple boxes of pavers to blend natural color variation, veining, and tumbled edge differences.
- Choose patterns well suited for 6″x12″ pavers such as herringbone, basketweave, or running bond.
- Use chalk lines or a laser level to establish straight reference lines for consistent alignment.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Carefully place each paver onto the prepared bedding layer following the planned layout.
- Maintain consistent joint spacing of 1/8″–1/4″ to allow for joint material and natural movement.
- Lightly tap each paver with a rubber mallet to ensure full bedding contact and a level surface.
- Check adjacent edges frequently to prevent lippage and adjust the bedding as needed.
Step 3: Cutting & Edge Finishing
- Use a wet saw equipped with a diamond blade designed for natural travertine.
- Support smaller-format pieces during cutting to minimize edge chipping.
- Soften exposed cut edges with a rubbing stone to visually match the tumbled finish.
Step 4: Joint Filling
- Fill joints using polymeric sand or a joint filler approved for natural travertine.
- Gently compact joints and sweep excess material from the surface.
- If polymeric sand is used, lightly mist according to manufacturer instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- Once the installation is fully dry, apply a breathable penetrating sealer formulated for exterior travertine.
- Reapply sealer every 12–24 months depending on climate exposure and foot traffic.
- Clean using pH-neutral stone cleaners only; avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Disclaimer
