Question 3
I'm getting ready to install a travertine backsplash in my new kitchen. I will be installing it over existing drywall. Should I ude white thinset or mastic? Also, some people say seal the tiles befor you start, some say don't. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Vince
Answer
Hi Vince
You can use pre mixed white thinset, if you seal the tile before grout it'll help to clean, and sometimes if are using a dark color grout it can stain the tile, so better is to seal before grout.
Some people (like myself) likes when some of the natural holes on the travertine tiles is filled with the grout, so if you like the look you can fill some with grout.
Good Luck
