Flooring must meet tile code standards for both. The biggest this that must be done is the stone must be sealed prior to installation at least once. I do all mine twice before installation. Then you seal it a third time after its installed , sealing the grout and all this time. Still a recommend sealing it twice again, this so the grout is sealed. Do this all with a penetrating sealer.The 2 times you do it after the installation, the stone wont take any more sealer , the grout will be absorbing it all. There are some minor installation between a tumbled stone and a square edged ,hone travertine. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there.
