Will be laying a marble or travertine (haven;t decided out of two yet!!) floor soon. I have laid a slate floor and had to go through all of the sealing process, etc.
I have read bit & bobs about laying marble/travertine but not managed to get loads of info.
Do they need sealing before laying? Do I need to use a white adhesive to stop them getting stained?
The floor I'm going over is half T&G water proof chipboard and half concrete (level to one another). Should I just use a flexible adhesive right the way through, or should I try to use flexible on chipboard and thinset on the concrete?
Also do travertines and marble cut cleanly? Should I use a diamond cutter?
