Typical Design Drawings

Installing Carderock® Thin Veneer

• Carderock Thin Veneer may be applied over any masonry surface, concrete block, brick, cement, etc. Painted surfaces must be sandblasted, or otherwise stripped of paint. If it is difficult to remove paint or if surface is of frame construction, nail metal lath to wall securely, 6" on center. (For exterior, vapor barrier first, then metal lath) Apply scratch coat (2 parts sand to 1 part cement) to lath. Make certain lath is covered completely with a thin coat (1/2"-3/4" thick). Use a metal scraper or small scrap of lath to lightly rake horizontal grooves in the scratch coat. Allow scratch coat to set up or cure. This is now a masonry surface to which the Thin Veneer may be applied using the following steps:

• Mix rich mortar (2 parts sand to I part cement) to a creamy consistency similar to whipped potatoes.

• Determine if stones will be laid out on ground to the desired fit prior to installation, or if trimming is required to complete finished application.

• Make certain surface is free of dirt, sand, or loose particles. If surface is dry, dampen first with a masonry brush but do not saturate. This prevents the wall from pulling the moisture from the mortar, allowing it to set up both naturally and with a better bond. For cleaner installation, begin applying stone at the top of the wall and work toward the bottom.

• Trowel rich mortar onto wall approximately 1/2" thick.

• Take clean stone and slightly dampen the back side. This frees any dust and again prevents moisture loss from mortar.

• Apply thin coat of rich mortar onto back side of stone. This fills in pits and rises in stone and creates a stronger bond with the wall.

• Press stone into mortar, rotating slightly, forcing some of the mortar to squeeze out freely. Any mortar forced out beyond the finished joint or on the stone surface itself must be removed with trowel, joint tool, or brush before the mortar is allowed to set up. Narrow joints will provide a nicer appearance.

• Use a grout bag to fill all joints (or use trowels). As the mortar stiffens, tool to the desired depth and be sure to brush off all excess.
