Installation Guide – Country Classic 12″x24″ Tumbled Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide addresses only the paver placement stage. Ensure that sub-base and bedding layers are properly prepared by qualified professionals before beginning.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay the pavers to evaluate natural color and texture variation.
- Arrange the pieces in your chosen pattern (e.g., running bond, herringbone, ashlar) for visual balance.
- Snap chalk lines or use a laser level to mark reference lines for straight installation.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Carefully set each 12″x24″ paver onto the prepared bedding surface.
- Maintain consistent joint widths of 1/8″–1/4″.
- Gently tap pavers with a rubber mallet to ensure full seating and level alignment.
Step 3: Cutting & Edge Finishing
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade rated for travertine to make precise cuts.
- Support large-format tiles during cutting to avoid corner chipping.
- Smooth any exposed edges with a rubbing stone or fine sandpaper for a natural look.
Step 4: Joint Filling
- Fill joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-compatible joint filler.
- Compact gently and sweep away excess filler.
- If using polymeric sand, mist the surface lightly to activate the binding agents.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- After installation is dry, apply a breathable, penetrating sealer formulated for travertine.
- Reapply sealer every 1–2 years based 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 pits. These characteristics are part of its unique charm. Always dry-lay and inspect materials before installation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure durability and performance.
