INSTALLATION OF THERMOSTONE® ECO-FRIENDLY STONE

Installation

Assembly

Method

1.

1. Measure the height and length of the surface you are going to cover, discounting the holes for doors and windows. Also measure the linear metres of the corners.

* We advise ordering 5% more than the actual m2 for cutting and breakages.

2.

Clean the surface the stone will be stuck onto in order to improve the grip.

3.

Make sure no water repellent material is left on the surface that makes it harder for the adhesive cement to stick. If the walls are painted, it is advisable to chisel them beforehand. This will help the adhesive to grip better.

4.

Wet the surface and pieces before positioning them.

5.

Apply C2TE S1 adhesive cement evenly onto the pieces using a notched trowel. Glue both the piece and the wall (double bonding) and start to position the material. If the wall you are covering has corners, start there.

6.

Open several boxes and pick up and mix pieces from the different packs. Position the pieces on a horizontal surface to get an idea of the layout and then place them on the wall surface.

Comments

  • Bear in mind that the ambient temperature should be between 5-30ºC.
  • The colours, due to the humidity of the product, may vary in tone up to 50% from their original colour.
  • When you need to cut a piece, use a circular saw with a diamond blade.
  • Do not, under any circumstances, use aggressive liquids or high pressure machines for the cleaning or treatment of the stone.
  • In indoor venues with a presence of smoke and vapour, and in areas with a high presence of salts and chlorine (coasts and mountains), it is advisable to apply a waterproof and breathable treatment.
  • THERMOSTONE® products do not undergo any changes due to fire or the outdoors, but their support structure may be affected, so it is recommended that you take extra care in insulating them beforehand.

Installation

Ejemplos de colocación

 7.

Start by positioning the material from the bottom to the top and from left to right with the help of a rubber mallet and gently tap the entire surface, alternating the short sides with the long sides.

 8.

On regular pieces, check the level every 4-5 rows and always break the vertical joint. On irregular pieces, break the horizontal and vertical joints every 30-40cm.

 9.

Once the piece is positioned on the wall surface, expand the adhesive cement using a rubber mallet.

10.

Remove the excess adhesive cement from the edges so that the pieces don’t become stained when positioning the next row.

11.

Once the seal is hard, clean the wall surface using a brush and leave it to dry for 24 hours.

Filling of joints

12.

For the joints, you can use wooden plugs or similar which are the size of the joint you want to place, so the pieces don’t slip while they dry fully and to achieve uniformity in the joints.

13.

For the joint filler, you should make a well mixed dry mortar, mix water repellent liquid to prevent efflorescence. Apply using a piping nozzle (once applied, leave to dry for 30-40 minutes).

14.

Go over all of the joints with a pointing trowel to obtain a rustic and homogenous joint.

15.

Clean the joints using a brush.
