Laying travertine

[doug boardley]

Is it good?

I find it excellent to use TJ, assuming that a matt finish is what you want, I've tried the other brands quite extensively over the years and find LTP very hard to beat on quality and price

Cheers Doug. So assuming they want a Matt finish LTP is the trick. If they want a gloss finish shall I go back to Lithofin?

Just out of interest, wouldn't scratched rendered walls have the same problem as plaster - i.e not able to take a weight of more than 20kg per m2?

What would be the best substrate for travertine on an existing bathroom wall?

Sand and cement rendered walls will take around 40kg weight wise, Cement backer boards take 55 kg.
Here is link to a lot of invaluable information for you, its a good read.
