nice work Charimon. gotta love those patterns :blink:

just finished a 1600 sq.ft. French pattern travertine installation project with a Ivory Blend in Odessa, Florida this week. Got it grouted earlier this week and then sealed the other day. it came out really nice and the customer is pleased.

Do you use buffer to finalize the clean up ogf grout? Even I avoid the middle part of the travertine and grout just the edges, it leaves residue.I seal before install.When I buff with white pad it just comes perfect.

I never have those problems grouting. I washed, and did a final and it was clean. let sit a few days and then applied the color enhancing penetrating sealer.

I would not consider as a problem.I just find it gives nice polished look.

with the honed you could buff it up it you want a partial shine.

mine was Brushed & Chiseled travertine, they weren't going for a glossy look.

I did this honed a few months ago and just washed it a few times.
they also didn't want a shiny look, liked the matte finish.

I like!

They always look so cool when everything is finished and camera ready.

Very nice.

 

[Ceramictec]

so true. I usually take the tile done empty room picture.
so it's good to see it furnished and done.

Brian,

Great job. The photo looks so professional. I like that type of photo but never seem to get back to get them.

Brian, you're the tile plank pro! Using the longer trowel? Do you check the floor for flatness before you start or level as you go? I like doing that tile when the tile isn't bowed and I flatten the bumps before I start.
