Sealers Natural Stone
Travertine can be sealed to protect the surface of the stone and assist with proper care and cleaning.
There are two types of sealers to help protect the natural stone surfaces:
Topical Sealers: Protects the surface of the stone.
Topical sealers protect against water, oil, and substances that can contaminate.
They are made with plastic compounds, waxes, and acrylics.
Following the sealer, focus switches to sealer care instead of stone care. Sometimes stripping and reapplication are needed.
Impregnators Sealers:
Impregnator’s sealers are breathable and will not change the natural look of the surface. They are needed for vanity tops and food preparation areas
(Check safety of sealer for food preparation).
Impregnator’s sealers become repellents after they are applied and resist mold, mildew, alga graffiti, grout dyes, mortar haze, acid rain, or any solvent-based solutions that penetrate below the surface of the stone. They repel water, oil and keep contaminants out, while allowing moisture to escape.

TRAVERTINE PAVERS INSTALLATION
TRAVERTINE PAVERS INSTALLATION
Stone Tile Us pavers are available in Marble and Travertine with finishes: tumbled, honed and filled. The finish on these stones are good for traction of vehicles and walking. The dense, hard material of travertine pavers makes them good for driveways, patios, pool and decks. They are resistant to moisture, cold, heat and erosion. There is no heat retention and its surface remains cool to the touch. We offer a good variety of colors and sizes to blend with your outdoor design.
Surface Preparation (Important)
Travertine pavers are durable, however, they are breakable so it’s important to properly prepare the surface. Pavers sized 6×12 are best for driveway to prevent cracking from the pressure of vehicles. Larger sizes, and French Pattern, are good for outdoor, deck and pool areas but not recommended for driveway use.
TRAVERTINE PAVERS INSTALLATION STEPS:
Dry-Set
Is highly recommended it is easy to lay and replace if needed and is the best option for cold weather.
Steps:
Excavate if needed
Compact (Soil has to have the correct moisture level)
Level, compact and repeat
Add 6” to 8” crushed limestone (sharp edges assist a snug fit) allows for good drainage.
Compact layers
Add the limestone in 2 -3 layers
Level compact and repeat
Top with ½” sand
Then lay pavers
Clearly define borders 6×12 Travertine Pavers
After pavers are in place Polymeric sand can be swept between cracks, grout, or they can be left alone
TRAVERTINE PAVERS INSTALLATION Mud-set
Uniform ground, surface/platform.
Excavate 6″ to 8″ of soil
Clear the area and create a level platform
Use a plate compactor to compact the soil
Fill area with crushed gravel (limestone base 3” to 4”)
Pour 4” concrete slab
Add mortar and lay the travertine pavers
Start from the edge of the driveway and work your way inwards.
Flexbond is recommended for cold weather mud set travertine paver installation that will be mud-set on top of a concrete surface.
It allows contraction and expansion during the extreme cold weather cycle as will as prevent cracking.
TRAVERTINE PAVERS INSTALLATION Sand set
Excavate the area and compact the soil.
Add a crushed limestone base 4” to 5”
Crushed limestone is a sure foundation, and will help the pavers stay in proper position while allowing proper drainage.
Add 1” to 2” of concrete sand over crushed limestone.
Lay pavers starting from the edge of the driveway and work your way in (use something like a concrete slab, to hold pavers in position during installation).
Pavers should be placed in a fitted pattern for good snug fit.
Fill the joints in with polymeric sand (usually a mix of sand & special additives that are used for filling paving stone joints).
Edging
It’s recommended to install landscape edging on the outside edge of the pavers this will keep them from shifting out of position (top of the edging must be level with the travertine paver edge)
An alternative is pouring concrete along the outside edge after tiles are set (top of the edging must be level with the travertine paver edge)
Finishes
Your outdoor travertine paver finish options are:
Tumbled finish, has textured, porous finish that is skid-resistant.
Honed is a smoother finish than tumbled but still has needed traction when wet.
Polished finish is smooth and should only be installed in covered outside areas porch patio etc…
TRAVERTINE PAVERS INSTALLATION Patterns
The pattern is up to you as there are several pattern/size options:
6×12, 8×8, 8×16, 12×12, 12×24, 16×16, 16×24, & 24×24

Stone Source
Stone Source
Stone Source
Stone Source is the open pit for extraction of marble, granite, limestone, and sandstone. The process is done either in the form of: blasting, digging, or cutting. At times, there are issues with drainage even when in level areas with shallow water.
To resolve this issue a clay lined moat is used around the quarry to prevent leaking. Water that gets into the quarry is pumped into the moat.
Many communities consider quarries to be an appearance issue and have problems with noise, and dust. A wheel washing system is now being used in many quarries to control road pollution of vehicles leaving the quarries.
The stone surfaces are finished in a variety of ways: tumbled, split face, brushed, honed, polished and chiseled to name a few.
They are then cut into tiles of various sizes and shapes for multiple uses: like French pattern, mosaics, pavers, moldings, and copings. Then used for floors, walls, back splashes, kitchen, bathroom, Pools, decks, patios, entry ways, docks, borders, driveways, and walkways.
Natural stone that is excavated from the ground has a very durable, beautiful and natural surface, making it desirable. Natural Stone brings value to your home and It can increase a home’s resale price. It also gives a high-class look that appeals to home buyers.
