EASY INSTALLATION
Thin stone veneers may be applied over most any clean, dry, structurally sound wall surface. Attach wire lath 2.5 gauge directly to the wall.
This is what holds the stone. Overlap each sheet of lath by 4-6". Apply a scratch coat over the lath. Apply mortar to the back of each
stone and put on scratch coat. When all stones are layed up apply joint grout in between stones. Be careful when applying cement to stones -
do not to get cement on the face of the stones. When applying the stone on the wall make sure to blend colors from all boxes and to mix up
shapes and size as you work along. It is a good idea to spread out the stones on the floor before starting the project. Start at the corners
and work into the centre of the wall. Being sure to alternate the corner stone returns. Cutting the stones is best done by using a power saw
with a masonry saw blade. Always be sure to use safety glasses and a dust mask. Its best if you do your cutting outside because of the dust
created. For a complete detailed information sheet, contact us or one of our Dealers.
