Hi guys, I have a lot of experience in tiling and I've done slate but never travertine. I know the method for sealing and use wet cutter, what I would like to know is what advice could you give me on giving a good finish on the edges please? I.e around windows as no trim involved, I've read about diamond pads but never had the need for these so useless as to what grit is for what lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you :)

You need a variable speed grinder, Silicon carbide pads, and maybe a profiling tool depending on what sort of edge you require. With trav I have just put a bullnose with just the pads. Give Alan a call at ATS Diamond tools a call he will sort you everything you need.
