Travertine is porous, so every tile was sealed before grouting to stop staining. The mosaic band was set at the height of the shower mixer, so the controls sit inside it.
Project overview
Natural stone needs a different approach.

How the work is done
A controlled sequence, not guesswork on the wall.
Every stage is checked before the next begins — the finish is only as good as the work underneath it.
- 01
Assess the substrate
Check flatness, junctions, fixtures and wet-area readiness before the layout is committed.
- 02
Set out the complete room
Balance tile courses and control visible cuts, corners and transitions.
- 03
Fix and align
Maintain adhesive transfer, consistent joints and alignment across adjoining surfaces.
- 04
Finish and inspect
Complete grout, movement joints, silicone and a final cleaning check.
