Installation Guide – Romano 12″x24″ Tumbled Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide addresses only the paver installation phase. Proper sub-base and bedding preparation must be completed by qualified professionals before beginning.
Step 1: Dry Layout & Planning
Lay out the 12″x24″ pavers on the prepared bedding surface to evaluate natural color, veining, and texture variations.
Choose a pattern such as running bond, ashlar, or herringbone to evenly distribute tones and reduce visible joints.
Mark straight reference lines using chalk or a laser level to ensure consistent alignment.
Step 2: Placing Pavers
Carefully position each paver on the bedding layer according to your layout lines.
Maintain uniform joint widths of 1/8″–1/4″, using spacers if necessary.
Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to seat each paver and create a level surface.
Frequently check for lippage, especially with larger-format pieces, and adjust the bedding as needed.
Step 3: Cutting & Edge Finishing
Use a wet saw with a travertine-rated diamond blade for precise cuts.
Support pavers securely during cutting to prevent chipping or cracking.
Smooth any exposed cut edges with a fine rubbing stone to maintain the natural tumbled finish.
Step 4: Filling Joints
Fill joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-compatible joint filler.
Compact gently and sweep away excess material.
If using polymeric sand, lightly mist to activate bonding agents following manufacturer instructions.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
Once installation is dry, apply a breathable, penetrating sealer suitable for exterior travertine.
Reapply sealer every 1–2 years depending on exposure and foot traffic.
Clean only with pH-neutral stone cleaners; avoid acidic or abrasive products that may damage the surface.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone with inherent tonal variation, veining, and surface pits. These are natural characteristics, not defects. Always dry-lay and inspect materials before final installation. Professional installation is strongly recommended for optimal longevity and appearance.
