Preparation

Prior to installation of Natural Travertine:

Installation

When installing Natural Travertine:

When used in showers or tubs, Natural Travertine should never be set with the bottom course extending into the shower base or tight to tub lip. Always leave a minimum gap of 1/4” above and perpendicular to the floor or lip of the tub or shower base and use a waterproof flexible sealant where they meet per TCNA specification B412-23.

This will prevent water from wicking up the body of the travertine and causing discoloration and water lines to be seen on the stone's surface along the base.

For travertine shower floors, recommend installations that incorporate a Complete Water Management System.
