Installation Guide â Charcoal 16″x24″ Tumbled Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide addresses only the paver covering process. Base preparation and leveling should be completed by qualified professionals before paver installation.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay pavers to inspect the natural color variation, veining, and surface texture.
- Arrange pavers in a visually balanced pattern, such as running bond or ashlar layout.
- Mark guide lines to maintain proper alignment during installation.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Carefully place each 16″x24″ paver on the prepared bedding layer.
- Maintain uniform joint spacing of 1/8″â1/4″ to allow for movement and sand filling.
- Tap pavers gently with a rubber mallet to ensure proper seating and level alignment.
Step 3: Cutting & Adjustments
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade suitable for travertine to achieve clean cuts.
- Support large-format pavers during cutting to prevent edge chipping or breakage.
- Smooth visible cut edges for a finished appearance.
Step 4: Joint Filling
- Fill joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-compatible joint filler.
- Gently compact the surface and sweep away excess material.
- If using polymeric sand, lightly mist the surface to activate bonding agents.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- After installation is complete and dry, apply a breathable, penetrating sealer formulated for exterior travertine.
- Re-seal every 1â2 years, depending on environmental conditions and traffic levels.
- Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaners only; avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone and may feature tonal variation, surface pits, and veining. These characteristics are part of the material’s unique beauty. Always dry-lay and inspect pavers before final installation. Professional installation is strongly recommended for best results and long-term durability.
