It is a compact and porous material and this porosity or the holes from its structure actually defines travertine’s beauty.

Tips for installation:
This is as important as choosing the stone best suited to your decoration project
After unpacking the tiles, you need to wash them and dry
For installing the tiles it is recommended to use the Weber Set Marmo Plus adhesive, a fast setting flexible adhesive, suitable for the exterior; it can also be used for underfloor heating
Apply the Weber Color Comfort joint grout after installation for highlighting the natural stone; you have 30 shades to choose from
For a correct installation we recommend hiring an expert in natural stone installation
Tips for natural stone aftercare
Travertine is a hard and durable stone, yet for an extended lifetime you should keep in mind 3 steps: cleaning, sealing and aftercare
Clean the surface before sealing with LTP Grimex, available in our product range (approximately 1 L = 40-50 sqm)
We recommend sealing the surface with LTP MPG, a solution for polished surfaces or LTP Mattstone H2O, a water based solution. This procedure offers everyday protection against water drops, dust and difficult stains. This procedure seals the micro pores, preventing the water penetration of into the surface, so the stone will not stain so easily
For enhancing the color and highlight the natural stone beauty, we recommend LTP Color Intensifier
For cleaning and aftercare following the installation you can use LTP Waxwash cleaner that will not influence the sealed surface (1L = 700 sqm)
For difficult stains, use LTP Power Stripper and for dust stains use LTP Grout Stain Remover (1L = 30-40 sqm)
Travertine is one of the most amazing materials for your interior or exterior decoration projects. In case we did not convinced you yet of the unique look found in every tile of natural stone, we invite you to order a sample on our website.
