Travertine Fill Calculator

Filler for the voids in a travertine floor, from the void share, the fill depth and the filler density.

Inputs

Range: 1–1,000,000

Length times width of the area to be cleaned.

Range: 0.1–80

Estimated or measured from a representative square foot. A filled and honed tile has far fewer open voids than an unfilled one.

Range: 0.0156–1 in

Inches. Drive it slightly proud of the face and hone back, so allow a little more than the visible depth.

Range: 10–200 lb per cubic foot

From the filler data sheet. Cementitious and epoxy fillers differ.

Result

Filler needed
58.59 lb
Surface taken up by voids
75.00 sq ft
Fill volume
0.7813 ft3
Reading: what this result means for the job
A working filler quantity for one floor. The void share is the number that decides it, and the void share is judged on the face of the tile, not on a photograph of a sample.
Applicability limit
The fill volume follows the void share, the fill depth and the filler density entered, and the void share is an estimate from a representative square foot rather than a measurement of the whole floor. The filler is driven slightly proud of the face and honed back, so the depth entered should be a little more than the visible void. This is a planning figure for the values entered, not a measured result. Coverage rates, product yields and application rates are properties of a specific product, applicator and substrate, and the label or data sheet for the product you are using always takes precedence over the default here.

What to check

  • Judge the void share on a representative square foot, not on one sample tile.
  • Allow for the filler being honed back, so plan a little more depth than the visible void.
  • Confirm the filler density and the mixing ratio from the data sheet.

The void share is the number that decides the order, and it is judged on the face of the tile, not on a photograph of a sample. Drive the filler slightly proud of the face and hone it back, which is why the fill depth here is a little more than the visible void.
