Preparing the Surface
The first step in the installation process is to prepare the surface. This involves cleaning the area where the veneer will be installed to ensure there are no elements that could interfere with the adherence of the stone.
Applying Mortar or Adhesive
Once the surface is prepared, the next step is to apply the mortar or adhesive. This substance acts as the bonding agent between the stone veneer and the surface. It’s important to apply it evenly to ensure a secure fit.
Laying Out the Stones
After the mortar or adhesive is applied, the stones are laid out in a pattern. This step requires careful planning and arrangement to achieve the desired look. The stones may need to be cut or trimmed to fit the pattern correctly.
Cutting the Stones
Depending on the design, some stones may need to be cut or trimmed. This process requires precision to ensure the stones fit perfectly within the pattern.
