Floor tiles 600 x 600 no pattern onto concrete floor which needs a levelling compound

One of the main issues with Travertine at the moment will be quality. Although cost is not the deciding factor usually the cheaper stone has more filler and on larger formats can be broken when handling. Always stack on edge and test for sound prior to laying and make sure you solid bed fix using a white adhesive. It will need to be sealed and depending on the depth of colour either a Jasmin/beige or limestone coloured grout would bring it all together IMHO.
Like all jobs having the right tools (cutters) is essential and surface preparation a priority.
Good luck and enjoy.
