Installation Guide – Grand Canyon Tumbled 12″x24″ Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide covers only the paver covering phase. Sub-base and bedding preparation must be completed by qualified professionals prior to installation.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay pavers to evaluate natural color/vein variation and tumbled edge differences.
- Select a layout that limits lippage on this large format—running bond or ashlar is recommended.
- Snap chalk lines or use a laser to establish straight reference lines for alignment.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Gently place each 12″x24″ paver onto the prepared bedding layer following your layout lines.
- Maintain uniform joint spacing of 1/8″–1/4″ to accommodate joint filler.
- Tap each paver with a rubber mallet to fully seat and level; check adjacent edges frequently to avoid lippage.
Step 3: Cutting & Edge Finishing
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade rated for travertine for clean, precise cuts.
- Support large-format pavers during cutting to prevent edge chipping or cracking.
- Smooth any exposed cut edges with a rubbing stone to blend with the tumbled finish.
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 to activate per manufacturer instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- After the installation is dry, apply a breathable, penetrating sealer formulated for exterior travertine.
- Re-seal every 1–2 years depending on exposure and traffic.
- Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaners only; avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone and may show tonal variation, surface pits, and veining—these are inherent characteristics, not defects. Always dry-lay and inspect materials before final installation. Professional installation is recommended for best performance and appearance.
