Installation Guide – Desert Bloom 6"x12" Tumbled Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide covers only the paver covering process. Base and bedding preparation must be completed by qualified professionals prior to installation.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay pavers to assess color, veining, and surface variations.
- Arrange pavers to achieve a visually balanced pattern, such as running bond, herringbone, or basketweave.
- Mark alignment reference lines to keep rows straight and consistent.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Place each 6"x12" paver carefully on the prepared bedding layer.
- Maintain a consistent joint spacing of 1/8"–1/4".
- Tap gently with a rubber mallet to seat pavers evenly without damaging the tumbled edges.
Step 3: Cutting & Adjustments
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade designed for travertine for precise cuts.
- Handle smaller pavers carefully to avoid corner chipping.
- Smooth any exposed cut edges to maintain the natural, tumbled look.
Step 4: Joint Filling
- Fill joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-safe joint filler.
- Compact gently and sweep away all excess material.
- If using polymeric sand, lightly mist with water to activate bonding.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- Apply a breathable, penetrating sealer suitable for exterior travertine after installation is dry.
- Re-seal every 1–2 years, depending on exposure and weather conditions.
- Use pH-neutral stone cleaners only; avoid acidic or abrasive chemicals.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone that features tonal variation, surface pits, and veining. These characteristics enhance its unique appeal. Always dry-lay and inspect material prior to installation. Professional installation is recommended for the best performance and longevity.
