Installation Guide – Romano 16″x24″ Tumbled Travertine Paver
Important Note
This guide covers 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 16″x24″ pavers on the prepared bedding layer to inspect natural color, veining, and texture variations.
Choose a balanced pattern such as running bond, ashlar, or staggered grid to evenly distribute tones and reduce visible joints.
Use chalk lines or a laser level to mark straight reference lines for precise alignment.
Step 2: Placing Pavers
Carefully position each paver on the bedding layer following your layout lines.
Keep joint spacing uniform at 1/8″–1/4″.
Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to seat each paver and ensure a level surface.
Frequently check for lippage, especially with large-format pavers, and adjust the bedding layer 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 edge chipping or cracking.
Smooth any exposed cut edges with a rubbing stone to maintain the tumbled texture.
Step 4: Filling Joints
Fill joints with polymeric sand or a travertine-compatible joint filler.
Gently compact the surface and sweep away excess filler.
If using polymeric sand, lightly mist according to manufacturer instructions to activate the bonding agent.
Step 5: Sealing & Maintenance
Once installation is complete and 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.
Disclaimer
Travertine is a natural stone with inherent tonal variation, veining, and surface pits. These are not defects. Always dry-lay and inspect materials before final installation. Professional installation is recommended for optimal durability and appearance.
