Stone veneer roll

Installation of Stone Veneer Roll – Basic Information

Stone veneer roll, also known as flexible stone or stone on a roll, is an innovative decorative material that combines the natural qualities of real stone with flexibility and easy installation. It is a thin layer of natural stone—such as slate, quartzite, or marble—bonded to a flexible backing, making it suitable for a wide variety of surfaces, both indoors and outdoors.

Surface Preparation

• Ensure that the surface where the stone will be installed is clean, dry, and even.
• Remove any dirt, grease, or loose material that could weaken the adhesive bond.

Measuring and Cutting

• Measure the area you want to cover and prepare the stone rolls by cutting them to the required dimensions.
• Use a utility knife or heavy-duty scissors to cut the material.

Applying the Adhesive

• Apply a dedicated polyurethane-based adhesive to the surface where the stone will be installed. This type of adhesive is ideal for natural stone and provides a strong and durable bond.
• The adhesive may also be applied directly to the back of the stone roll—depending on the manufacturer's recommendations.

Installing the Stone

• Carefully place the stone onto the surface, starting from one end to avoid trapping air bubbles underneath.
• Use a rubber roller or a smooth board to press the stone firmly and ensure even adhesion.

Grouting (if required)

• After the stone is installed and the adhesive has dried, grout may be applied in some cases to fill small gaps between strips.
• Use weather-resistant grout and choose a color that complements the stone.

Finishing

• Allow the entire installation and any grout to dry thoroughly according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• You may apply a sealer to protect the stone from moisture and dirt.

By using a dedicated polyurethane adhesive, the installation of stone veneer roll becomes even more durable and long-lasting, which is especially important in areas exposed to outdoor conditions.
