Step-by-step guide
-
Preparation of the wall
- Make sure that the wall is clean, dry, and stable plastered.
- Remove any loose plaster or contaminants that could affect adhesion.
-
Mixing the flexible adhesive
- Mix the flexible adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- The glue should be mixed thickly so that it has a viscous consistency.
-
Applying the flexible adhesive
- Apply the flexible adhesive either spot-wise or over the entire surface to the back of the graywacke facade stones. Use the trowel for this purpose.
- Pointwise: Apply several adhesive dots to the back of the stone.
- Fully covered: Apply the adhesive evenly across the entire back of the stone. This ensures a stronger and more uniform bond.
-
Attaching the stones
- Press the stones coated with glue firmly against the wall. Start at the bottom of the wall and work your way up.
- Make sure that the stones adhere well and that no cavities are formed.
-
Grouting
- Make sure that the joints are completely filled to prevent water ingress and associated frost damage.
-
Conclusion
- After grouting, allow the mortar to dry well.
- Optional: Apply a waterproofing treatment to further protect the stones from weathering effects.
