Thin Stone Veneer Installation

               1. When installing colonial thin stone veneer, always make sure that whatever type of

                         surface you are covering is clean and free of debris.

               2. If you are applying the veneer to an EXTERIOR surface, cover the entire surface with a

                        moisture control barrier.

                3. Secure a galvanized metal lath to the surface to ensure that the lath is secured properly.

                        Use heavy staples or galvanized roofing nails long enough to penetrate into the studs.

                4. Apply a thin coat of Type S mortar and allow mortar to set.

                5. Evenly spread the back of the back of the thin stone veneer. Press stone firmly  into place.

                         When joints become firm, finish to desired appearance.

                    Enjoy the natural beauty of natural thin stone veneer.
