Typical retaining wall detail.

The design of the wall system should also include the planning for the irrigation system that may be designed later by the landscape architect or engineer.china Manufactured stone veneer  should never be used below water level. Landscape architects should consider using drip water systems around stone surfaces and avoid any prolonged irrigation spray of water. All irrigation water should be directed away from stone surfaces.

To prepare the surface of a concrete poured-in-place wall, the installer will sand blast or powerwash the wall until it has a sandpaper-like texture. Applying a metal lath provides the most trouble-free installation on poured-in-place walls but using a primer (dash-bond coat) may increase bonding for applications without metal lath. When installing a metal lath, the designer should specify a maximum of 6-in. x 16-in. spacing between fasteners.

Some commercial properties are combining manufactured stone veneer with a stucco finish. There are two important requirements to be met when using stone veneer with stucco. edited by  china cultured stone veneer manufacturers

Grout color hue and the finished joint technique significantly enhance the appearance and authenticity of stonewalls. Choosing a grout that is the same color as the stonewall is usually done in more traditional designs. This type of application will create the visual appearance of a solid plane. By changing the color of the grout, the designer highlights the individual stones. There are three major types of grout techniques, all of which are common to a typical brick mason.edited by  china cultured stone veneer manufacturers

Choosing a Good Supplier of  Manufactured stone veneer from china 

Choosing a building material requires knowledge of the manufacturing process and supplier standards. When specifying manufactured stone veneer, the design professional should verify that the appropriate evaluation reports have been obtained and are available to review quality standards. There are three main evaluation services that provide third-party testing for stone veneer products. These evaluation reports are evidence that a product meets code requirements and warrants regulatory approval. The International Code Council Evaluation Services (ICC-ES), the National Evaluation Service, Inc. (NES) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) provide reports on manufactured stone veneer. Some of the criteria tested by these services are the thermal resistance of the veneer as well as recommendations for mortar types.


The design professional should also verify that proper testing has been conducted when specifying manufactured stone veneer from china. These tests include:


Density Measurement
Compressive Strength
Tensile Measurement
Flexural Measurement
Shear Bond
Moisture Absorption
Freeze Thaw
Wind-Load
As an interior product, UL also tests stone veneer for flame spread, smoke developed, and fuel contributed as required to meet codes for interior finishes. Most manufacturers recommend stone veneer placement a distance of 16 in. to 18 in. away from any direct flame. Manufactured stone veneers that meet these testing requirements are a good finish material for interior walls including fireplace surrounds.edited by  china cultured stone veneer manufacturers

DIY: Stone Veneer Fireplace manufacturers

 

Brighten up your old brick fireplace with a new stone veneer        manufacturers china

If your old brick or masonry fireplace is looking dull, spruce it up with a new stone veneer of granite, marble or tumbled stone. While you're at it, use the new stone to create a larger hearth and mantle. Setting stone over masonry takes time and patience, but it's not a difficult job that requires extraordinary skill. Your updated stone veneer fireplace will give the room a whole new look.

Instructions
1
Measure the fireplace. Calculate how much stone veneer is required and add 10% for mistakes. Obtain the surface area by multiplying the width by the height and subtracting the hearth opening. For example, if the fireplace is 4 feet wide by 5 feet high that's 20 square feet, less the hearth opening of 5 square feet. You would need to purchase 15 square feet of veneer plus an additional 1.5 feet for errors.

 2
Mix the thin set per package directions. Trowel a thin layer of thin set over the area, filling in any indentations, gaps and grout lines of the old brick or masonry. Let dry 24 hours.

3
Check the level of the hearth with a carpenter's level. If it's not level you may have to build up where it's low with a bit of extra thin set. It's critical that the first layer of stone be level. If it's not, the mistake is magnified as you lay the stone up the fireplace.

 4
Lay out the stone on the floor in the design you would like. Stone is a natural substance and there will be variations in colors. Make sure that if there are significantly lighter or darker stones that they are randomly placed on the fireplace, rather than laid close to each other.

 5
Build a wood frame that fits in the opening of the hearth. Do this with scrap wood. The top of the frame should be 1/2 inch lower than the opening. The frame supports the stones above it until they dry. The border of stones above the opening should overhang the opening just slightly.

 6
Mix additional thin set. Butter the back of the stone with a 1/4-inch layer of thin set, spreading it to the very edges of the stone. Press the stone to the face of the fireplace starting at the bottom next to the hearth.

 7
Continue buttering the stones and pressing them onto the fireplace, moving up the fireplace front and sides. Check each layer of stones to make sure it's level. Adjust by moving the stone a bit up or down before the thin set hardens. If you want gaps between the stones, insert tile spacers between the stones.

 8
Remove the thin set from the face of the stones with stone cleaner.

 9
Seal with two coats of sealer. This is necessary to prevent the grout from sticking to the stones. Let dry 24 hours.

 10
Mix grout according to package directions. Pack the grout in between the stones. Smooth the grout into the gap with a damp sponge.
