Installation Guide – Charcoal 6″x12″ Tumbled Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide covers only the paver covering process. Base preparation and leveling must be completed by qualified professionals before installation.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay pavers to inspect natural color variations and surface texture.
- Arrange pavers to achieve a balanced, visually appealing layout, such as running bond, herringbone, or basketweave.
- Mark straight reference lines to maintain consistent alignment during installation.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Carefully place each 6″x12″ paver on the prepared bedding surface.
- Maintain consistent joint spacing of 1/8″–1/4″ for sand-filled joints.
- Tap pavers gently with a rubber mallet to ensure they are well-seated and level.
Step 3: Cutting & Adjustments
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade suitable for travertine for clean, precise cuts.
- Handle small-format pavers carefully to prevent edge chipping or breakage.
- Smooth visible cut edges to maintain a natural, tumbled appearance.
Step 4: Joint Filling
- Fill all joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-compatible joint filler.
- Compact gently and sweep away excess material.
- If using polymeric sand, lightly mist to activate bonding according to manufacturer instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- Apply a breathable, penetrating sealer suitable for exterior travertine after the installation has fully dried.
- Re-seal every 1–2 years, depending on outdoor conditions and traffic.
- Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid acidic or abrasive products that may damage the stone.

Travertine is a natural stone and may include tonal variations, veining, and surface pits. These are inherent characteristics and not defects. Always inspect and dry-lay material before final installation. Professional installation is recommended for best long-term performance.
