Travertine advice!!

[M83T]

Ok I've used the green star before and I got on ok with it but guess it wouldn't hurt to move on to powder addy. I know the chap I'm doing it for has bought some cheap white powder adhesive from the builders merchant so I'll try and get persuade them to use something else. The kerracoll would be fairly slow setting as I'm not the fastest (yet)?

Hi everyone, my friend has asked me to tile their kitchen walls and having recently done my own kitchen splashback I accepted the offer to gain some more experience.
I've just seen that the tiles they have selected are 200mm X 100mm travertine tiles. I'm now slightly apprehensive about doing this as I have no experience of using travertine, I'm happy with setting out and stuff, but the adhesive, grout and sealing side of things is what's concerning me is it a completely different approach compared to normal ceramic? Any advice on working with travertine would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We always recommend pre sealing stoneprior to installation. Any Silicon or paraffin based system will protect and beautify your stone work. Allows for easier cleaning too. You could use AquaTight Hydraguard which protects, seals, protects natural stone image.
