Laying Travertiine, a couple of questions.

worz · 4 Aug 2008

Hello,

I am thinking of laying a Travertine Patio and was wondering if anyone had any particular tips on laying this kind of material.
It seems to be very square edged, so I am assuming I just butt it up and there is no need for any spacing between the slabs?

This is a picture from the brochure.

Thanks all.

needs to be laid very level,(but still with a fall) butt jointed, with no mortar between the joints. Use white cement to stop any staining up through the slabs. Other than that it is easy to lay, cut and looks great when done.
