Installation Guide – Grand Canyon Tumbled 6"x12" Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide covers only the paver covering phase. Sub-base and bedding preparation must be completed by qualified professionals before installation.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay several boxes to blend natural color/vein variation and tumbled edge differences.
- Select a pattern well-suited to 6"x12" pieces: herringbone, basketweave, or running bond.
- Snap chalk lines or use a laser to establish straight reference lines for alignment.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Place each paver carefully on the prepared bedding layer, following your layout lines.
- Maintain consistent joint spacing of 1/8"–1/4".
- Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to fully seat the paver and achieve a level surface.
- Check adjacent edges often to prevent lippage; adjust bedding as needed.
Step 3: Cutting & Edge Finishing
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade rated for travertine to make clean, precise cuts.
- Support small-format pieces during cutting to avoid edge chipping.
- Smooth 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 the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- After the installation is dry, apply a breathable, penetrating sealer suitable for exterior travertine.
- Re-seal every 1–2 years based on climate and traffic.
- Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaners only; avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone and may exhibit tonal variation, veining, and surface pits—these are inherent characteristics, not defects. Always dry-lay and inspect materials before final installation. Professional installation is recommended for best long-term performance.
