BASIC INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(Fig. 1) Apply a 3/8 in. layer of scratch coat to prepared surface. Scratch the plastered surface with wire lath or a hand rake

while it is still wet. This will ensure that the surface is not too smooth and will allow proper adhesion between the stone and

wall.

(Fig. 2) After the scratch coat has dried, mark both sides of the wall at 8 in. intervals in preparation for chalk lines. (Note:

The ground below the installation may be uneven so a level may need to be utilized.)

(Fig. 3) Snapping chalk lines at 8 in. intervals will ensure that the courses of stone are installed straight and level.

(Fig. 4) Apply 1/2 in. of mortar to the back of each stone and distribute it from front to back using the lead edge of the

trowel. (Note: Too much mortar can cause slipping.)

(Fig. 5) Start at the bottom corner installing one or two corner stones. Corner stones have long and short returns which

should be alternated throughout the installation. (Note: Start the ﬁ rst stone above ground to ensure a level installation.)

(Fig. 6) While installing the ﬁ rst course of ﬂ ats move the stone side to side, this will help the stone create a better bond to the

wall surface. To avoid creating long vertical and horizontal joints, stagger stones in an ashlar pattern leaving at least a 2 in.

offset on vertical joints.

TIPOS DE INSTALACION INSTRUCCIONES BÁSICAS PARA INSTALACIÓN FIG. 1 FIG. 2 FIG. 3 FIG. 4 FIG. 5 FIG. 6 (Fig. 1) Aplique una capa de adherencia de 0,9 cm a la superﬁcie preparada. Raspe la superﬁcie enyesada con malla de alambre o un rastrillo de mano mientras aun esté húmeda. Esto garantizará que la superﬁcie no esté demasiado lisa y permitirá la adherencia adecuada entre la piedra y la pared. (Fig.
