Installation Guide – Charcoal 24"x24" Tumbled Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide addresses only the paver covering process. Sub-base and bedding preparation must be performed by qualified professionals prior to paver installation.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay pavers to inspect natural color variation, surface texture, and veining.
- Arrange pavers in a balanced pattern, such as a straight grid or running bond, to enhance visual flow and reduce alignment stress on large-format pieces.
- Mark reference lines to ensure straight rows and consistent alignment.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Carefully place each 24"x24" paver on the prepared bedding surface.
- Maintain joint spacing of 1/8"–1/4" for sand or joint filler application.
- Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to seat the paver fully and ensure level alignment across the surface.
- Check frequently for evenness to avoid lippage, especially with large-format pavers.
Step 3: Cutting & Adjustments
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade approved for travertine for clean, precise cuts.
- Support the large-format paver securely during cutting to prevent edge chipping or cracking.
- Smooth exposed cut edges with a rubbing stone to preserve the natural, tumbled appearance.
Step 4: Joint Filling
- Fill all joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-compatible joint filler.
- Compact the surface gently, then sweep away excess material.
- If using polymeric sand, lightly mist the surface to activate its binding properties, following manufacturer instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- Once the installation is dry, apply a breathable, penetrating sealer suitable for exterior travertine.
- Re-seal every 1–2 years, or as needed depending on climate and traffic.
- Clean only with pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid acidic or abrasive products that may damage the stone.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone that may display tonal variation, veining, and surface pits, which are part of its unique appeal. Always inspect and dry-lay pavers prior to final installation. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure long-term durability and optimal results.
