No. You seal the top part of travertine AFTER it's installed.
The general rule is to wait 18 to 24 hours before walking on or grouting.
You can do it either way, however, you'll find grouting and cleanup easier if you do the walls first, including grout, before you start on the floors. This eliminates any mess from wall mortar or grout falling on your new tile floor. It also eliminates any risk of breaking floor tiles if you drop wall tiles on the floor.

YES natural stone is porous and will stain unless it is properly sealed Aside from staining, not sealing any natural stone tile can lead to mold and mildew growth, and the porous surface will attract moisture. There are cleaners to help with stains and moisture problems, but they do require work and patience. Also, make sure you clean your tiles thoroughly before sealing!!! If not, you are sealing in dirt, fingerprints, smudges, possibly moisture, etc... Let the tiles dry out for a day or so: otherwise you are sealing in moisture. I usually recommend waiting 1 week after the tile has been installed and grouted before scrubing and sealing.

Grout should dry for at least 48 hours before sealing it to ensure it is fully cured and ready for the sealing process.

To polish travertine floors, start by cleaning the surface thoroughly to remove any dirt and debris. Use a polishing compound specifically designed for travertine and apply it with a polishing machine. Work in small sections, allowing the polish to dry before buffing with a clean, dry cloth to achieve a shiny finish.
To properly apply grouting to tile during a home renovation project, follow these steps: Mix the grout according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a rubber float to spread the grout over the tile surface at a 45-degree angle. Press the grout into the spaces between the tiles, making sure they are completely filled. Wipe off excess grout with a damp sponge at a 45-degree angle. Allow the grout to dry for the recommended time before sealing it.
