Installation Guide – Norwegian River 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 pavers to review natural color, veining, and tumbled-edge variation.
- Select a pattern suited to 6″x12″ (e.g., herringbone, basketweave, or running bond).
- Snap chalk lines or use a laser to establish straight reference lines for alignment.
Step 2: Paver Placement
- Set each paver gently onto the prepared bedding layer following your layout lines.
- Maintain uniform joint spacing of 1/8″–1/4″.
- Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to fully seat each paver and achieve a level surface.
- Check for lippage across edges and adjust bedding where needed.
Step 3: Cutting & Edge Finishing
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade rated for travertine for clean, accurate cuts.
- Support small-format pavers during cutting to prevent 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 manufacturer instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
- After 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; avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone and can 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 performance and appearance.
