which grout for best for travetine

[matt24]

Just fixed some travertine wall tiles using bal white powdered natural stone adhesive. Am about to grout but unsure which is the best make for natural stone and the most suitable colour grout to use.

ive read that ivory is much better than white grout with travertine, but someone has also suggested that I use mapei beige.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

cheers

I think you have to choose the most suitable colour or the client. I would use a flexible grout. I don't think the make matters although mapei have the largest colour range

Gaz,

I think it depends on the colour of the Travertine doesn't it?

Yea Kev,
I think in general the Limestone covers most Travertine on the market, any other types is down the customers preffered choice, most manufacturers have selection of colour in their grout range....Gaz

I tend to advise limestone or ivory , just depends on travertines shading.......
