Installation Guide – Norwegian River 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 before installation.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
- Dry-lay pavers to review natural color, veining, and tumbled-edge variation.
- Select a layout that limits lippage on this 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
- Place each 12"x24" paver gently onto the prepared bedding layer following your layout lines.
- Maintain uniform joint spacing of 1/8"–1/4" for joint filler/sand.
- Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to fully seat the paver and achieve a level surface; check adjacent edges often to avoid lippage.
Step 3: Cutting & Edge Finishing
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade rated for travertine to make clean, accurate 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 all 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 climate and traffic.
- Clean only with pH-neutral stone cleaners; avoid acidic or abrasive products that can etch the stone.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone and may display 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 longevity.
