Install Manufactured Stone Veneers on a Fireplace Rock Board


 
Business
Manufactured stone veneer gives fireplaces the appearance of being constructed of natural stone. Veneer is made of aggregates and formed in molds. It weighs much less than natural stone, lending itself to applications that would not support the weight of natural stone. The preformed corner pieces make it easier for do-it-yourself homeowners to achieve a professional quality installation. The wide variety of textures and colors allow a range of choices to make your fireplace a source of pride and accomplishment. Instructions as follows: Firstly, install metal lath on the rock board with galvanized roofing nails. The metal lath installs with the cups toward the ceiling, so it feels rough when you run your hand downward. Hammer the nails into the studs behind the rock board 6 inches apart. Secondly, cover the floor area around the fireplace with drop cloths. Spread another drop cloth near the work area for staging the cubic stonee veneer. Place the stone veneer in the planned installation order. Thirdly, mix the mortar to the consistency of thick cake batter. Begin at the top to install the culture stone veneer and work from the corner inward. Use a masonry trowel to apply enough mortar to the lath to cover an area for two or three stones. Apply the mortar about ½-inch thick. Fourthly, cover the back of the stone veneer with a thin layer of mortar and place on the mortared area of the rock board. Apply enough pressure to the stone veneer to squeeze the mortar out around the stone. Hold the stone veneer in place for a few minutes to ensure a good bond. Use a drill driver to drive screws partially into the rock board at the bottom edge of the stone veneer to hold it in place. Two screws will usually hold each stone. Continue the process until the entire fireplace is covered. Allow the mortar to dry. Fifthly, remove the screws from between the rows of stone veneer. Mix mortar to the consistency of cake batter and place in a grout bag. Squeeze the mortar from the grout bag to fill in the gaps between the stones. Avoid getting the grout onto the stone veneer because it can stain. Sixthly, allow the grout to dry. Test for drying with your thumb--the mortar is dry when the thumbprint remains. Use a wooden dowel or a striking tool to remove the excess grout between the garden stone. Strive for a uniform appearance to the joints. Use a stencil brush to seal and compact the grout completely, sealing the edges of the stone. Lightly brush the grout joints with a whisk broom to remove any loose mortar. Tips & Warnings Stone veneer can be cut to size with nippers. Allow the mortar to dry for seven days before lighting a fire in the fireplace. Use safety glasses when cutting stone veneer. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
