When installing travertine in your outdoor area, some typical problems can occur during the installation. One major problem is when the ground is not prepared properly. If the ground is not level or strong enough, the stones can crack or move later. To prevent this, make sure the ground is well leveled before laying the stones. Another issue is using the wrong glue or mortar. Some think any adhesive is ok but no. Using the right outdoor adhesive will ensure that the stone stays in place even with weather changes.
People also forget that stones need to be left with a gap between them. This gap is called a joint and it's very important because it allows for movement. If stones are too close, they will crack when the ground moves. So make sure to leave a small space between each one. Lastly, many forget to seal the travertine after the installation. Sealing is like a protective layer against water and stains. Without it, stones get damaged easily. At Yingliang we recommend sealing right after installation if you want to keep your stones looking fresh.
