To ensure the integrity and longevity
of a project, we recommend that
a professional mason install our
natural thin stone veneer. If this
specialty building product is being
utilized in an exterior project, the
area that will be in contact with the
product must first be waterproofed
to industry standards. Next, any
chemical film on the wall should
be removed. Additional surface
preparation may be necessary,
depending on the type of material.
Some surfaces will need a non-
corrosive wire lath and a setting
mix before the material is applied.
To set the product, begin with any
corner pieces and alternate long
and short ends while stacking them
on top of each other. Type N or S
mortar is suitable for most projects,
possibly with the addition of a
bonding admixture. Once the
corners are complete, the rest of
the pattern can be filled in by
pressing each stone against the
scratch coat wall. Mortar should
be allowed to ooze and create grout
joints around the edge of each stone.
