- Travertine stone tiles are available in two surface finish options – filled and unfilled. Though there are many other finishes such as honed, polished, etc.
- If you are choosing unfilled, you can install it and then, will need to fill the pores manually. And if you are using filled travertine stone tiles, then also, you will need to seal the counter after installation.
- Take the measurement and draw an outline on the papers. The measurements you basically have to take are – the front edge and the counter.
- Once you have the measurements, it is time to cut the tiles for exact fit. You will need to use a wet saw to accomplish this job.
- After you have cut the tiles, begin installing stone tiles on the front edge first.
- Place your first tile on the center of the front edge. And move left and right one by one to finish installing the front edge of the counter.
- Now, move to the counter. Here also, place the first tile on the center, and place tiles towards left and right one by one to complete the installation.
- Let the installation dry.
- Seal the tiled kitchen counter.
- Let the sealant dry completely.
- Fill the grout between tiles and let it dry too.
- Wash the counter before using it.
There you have it. This is how you install travertine stone tile counter in kitchen. If you are looking to buy travertine stone tiles, consider ShadesOfStone.com, one of the trusted stone tile shops in US.
