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
