Install in 5 quick and easy steps
Cutting the Veneer:
Measure and mark the veneer sheet to fit your space. Use a utility knife or scissors to cut, ensuring clean and precise edges.
Applying Adhesive:
Apply a thin layer of the recommended adhesive to the back of the veneer sheet using a notched trowel. Ensure even coverage for a strong bond.
Positioning the Veneer:
Carefully align the veneer sheet to your marked area on the wall. Press firmly into place from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
Securing the Veneer:
Use a roller or soft cloth to press the veneer into the adhesive, securing it firmly to the surface. Pay extra attention to edges and corners.
Sealing (if necessary):
Depending on the location and expected wear, you may need to seal the veneer with a suitable sealant for added protection.
Finishing Touches:
- Inspect the installation for any loose edges or air bubbles. Use a roller or cloth to smooth out any imperfections.
- Trim any excess material for a perfect fit.
- Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove any adhesive residue.
Maintenance and Care:
Natural Flexible Stone Veneer is low maintenance and easy to care for. Regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a mild detergent are all it takes to keep your veneer looking stunning. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives to preserve the natural beauty of the stone.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the veneer for signs of wear or damage. Early detection can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dust and debris. For more thorough cleaning, a mild, pH-neutral soap mixed with water can be applied gently with a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft towel.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Harsh cleaners, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents, and abrasive tools can damage the natural stone’s surface. Stick to mild detergents and ensure any spills are cleaned up promptly to avoid staining.
- Sealing: Depending on the installation location and expected exposure to elements, consider applying a suitable sealant to enhance protection against moisture, stains, and wear. Consult with Mehta Stone Export House for recommended sealing products that are compatible with your specific stone veneer.
