How to Install

Tumbled Travertine Pavers

Travertine Pavers are easier to install than most other paving materials because they can be installed dry set. They are easily laid and, if necessary, easily replaced.

1. Start by compacting the soil using a compactor and make sure that the moisture content of the soil is right. Soil that is too damp or too dry may not compact properly.

2. Establish a border around the edges of the soon-to-be paved area. One can do this by using a soldier-course pattern with 6x12 travertine pavers, secured by concrete around the edge.

3. Travertine pavers can be dry set as indicated in the chart below. This allows for a much easier installation and easy repairs should they be necesary in the future.

4. Travertine pavers can be cut using the same blades and tools that are used to cut brick pavers or other natural stones. Any diamond blade should be sufficient.

5. Once everything is in place, sand can be swept into the joints of the travertine. Another option is to use grout or you do not have to use anything at all.

NOTE: Travertine Pavers can also be mud set on top of existing concrete. If mud-setting the pavers in Northern states, a FlexBond adhesive should be used to prevent cracking during the freeze-thaw cycle.
