Installation Guide – Norwegian River Tumbled 12″x24″ Travertine Paver
Important Note:
This guide focuses solely on the paver installation phase. Ensure sub-base and bedding are properly prepared by qualified professionals before beginning.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
Dry-lay the pavers to review natural color, veining, and tumbled-edge variation.
Choose a layout that minimizes lippage for this large format, such as running bond or ashlar.
Mark straight reference lines with chalk or a laser for precise alignment.
Step 2: Paver Placement
Gently position each 12″x24″ paver onto the prepared bedding layer following your layout lines.
Keep joint spacing consistent at 1/8″–1/4″ for filler or sand.
Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to seat and level each paver.
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 exposed cut edges with a rubbing stone to maintain a uniform tumbled finish.
Step 4: Joint Filling
Fill joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-compatible joint filler.
Compact gently and sweep away any excess.
If using polymeric sand, lightly mist to activate according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
Once installation is dry, apply a breathable, penetrating sealer suitable 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 may damage the surface.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone and may exhibit variations in tone, veining, and surface texture—these are inherent characteristics, not defects. Always dry-lay and inspect all materials prior to installation. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure long-lasting performance and appearance.
