- The Bonding of Material
For Art Stone:
Use the adhesive, which has a firmer bonding
strength and higher flexibility, such as "S" type cement, and
glue
Use the installation guide and avoid ranging
unevenly. We are not liable to misusing our products.
- Preparation before Installation
Considering the effects as a whole please put
the model in pairs or groups on the ground first until it is up
to the best effect and then spread it orderly. Don't put stones
which are similar in shape, colour, or size together.
- The Stone's Reverse side Dirt cleaning before
Installation:
Make sure you clean the dirt from the backside
of the stone and from the wall on which you are planning to install
the stone. The wall should be scratch coated or roughened up a little
bit before installation and the dirt/ dust should be cleaned. Then
spread the adhesive or Type "S"Cement on the back side of the stone,
this should have 10-20 mm thickness. After applying the adhesive
or cement, press the stone against the wall tightly until the stone
sticks to the wall in the pattern or design you desire.
- Instructions on Gaps between the Stone:
Regular products like Easy Fit Ledge Stone,
New easy Fit Ledge Stone, Custom Fit Ledge stone, Castle Stone,
Great Wall Stone, Country Ledge Stone does not necessarily need
gaps between two stones, but other stones like Lime Stone, Cobble
Stone, River Rock, Stream Rock and All types of Archaize Bricks
need a gap of 10mm. This gap known as grouts bring up the show of
each individual piece of stone and its colors, design and layout.
After you have completed a small portion of wall make sure you use
your trowel, you spread the adhesive/ cement as flat as possible,
to bring up the show of the stone. The un-wanted adhesive/cement
will drop down and the show of each piece will come up amazingly.
It is always good and smart way to start your
job from a corner of a wall, by installing the corners first on
the wall you want to install the stone. After installation of Corners
first, it becomes easy to built each line horizontally in line of
each corner, always make sure by your leveling gadget that you are
going straight on the wall in line of each corner.
After you have completed the installation, take
a thick sponge soak it in water little bit and try and clean the
full wall of stone which you have installed. This will give the
stonea very clean and shiny look after completion of work.
After 3 days of installation of any of our products,
the moisture from the stone has dried off completely, we recommend
you use water-proof "Thompson Sealer" which comes in two types:
One is a Shiny type and Second is Satin Type (Non-Shiny). This Sealer
helps water from seeping underneath the stone if there are some
crevices left out while installation. The second advantage of the
Thompson Sealer is it improves life of the stone resisting from
frost, waterand UV radiation, it brings up the Color, texture and
look of the stone which in turn brings up the amazing look of the
house and increases the value of your dream home.
After completing your job make sure you
completely clean off the floor areas from the remains of dirt, cement,
stone and other things. "A clean job always looks good and brings
up the show."
