Cultural Stacked Natural Stone Veneer: Caulking Treatment & Construction Precautions
Caulking Treatment
1. Using a Special Pointing Bag
- Fill the gaps using special pointing bags to ensure precision.
-
Depth matters—the deeper the gap, the stronger the three-dimensional effect of the stone.
2. Applying Grout Correctly
- Use a triangular piping bag (like those used for cakes) to squeeze grout into the gaps.
- Wait two to three hours before scraping off excess grout—doing it too early may stain the bricks.
-
Standard gap width: 15mm-25mm (varies based on model and stone size).
3. Smoothing and Finishing
- Once the caulking agent has set, remove excess grout using bamboo chips or similar tools.
- Use a water-soaked brush to refine the surface for a clean and even finish.
- Some products do not require seams, so check manufacturer guidelines.
Construction Precautions
1. Avoid Cold Weather Construction
-
Low temperatures can affect adhesion and strength, making construction unsuitable in cold weather.
2. Protect from Direct Sunlight
-
Unshielded sunlight can dry out mortar too quickly, leading to weak bonding.
3. Check Wall Moisture Before Construction
- If the wall is too dry, it will absorb water from the mortar, weakening adhesion.
- This can result in poor joint strength and falling stone veneer.
