No, the grout allows for tile expansion and contractions, without it your tile could crack but there are some tile that can be installed with minimal (1/16inch) grout lines.

Is there any possible way to install marble tile without grout lines?

You are going to have a seam one way or another. But the bigger the slab of marble, the fewer seams. And you can use an epoxy to fill the gaps, but it will still look like a seam. And without the grout, you can have some serious expansion problems.


Can you install chiseled edge travertine without a grout line?

Yes you can install the travertine without a grout joint. Even though you butt the tile together it will still create a very small grout joint. Make sure you still grout it to fill all of the voids. It is most important in wet areas or you will have a huge problem.

You risk having the loose tile cause the grout to chip out. Find a way to secure the tile first.


Do you install tile or hardwood first?

I have done this and I always have the hardwood installed first. Then I install the ceramic tile. To protect the hardwood floor from getting grout or glue on it I cover the hardwood floor with a soft cover (to prevent scratches) and tape it down. Then place a plastic cover over the hardwood. Then I can install the ceramic tile at the edge of the hardwood creating hardly or no seem and level with the hardwood. When its done it looks beautiful.I would install the tile first , that way you don't risk getting glue or grout on your hardwood.
