  • 04730 SIMULATED/MANUFACTURED STONE
  • LANDMARK STONE PRODUCTS
  • 3.03 PREPARATION
  • A. Surface Preparation: [Specify applicable product preparation requirements].
  • 1. Open Stud: Install paperbacked [metal lath] [plastic lath] to studs using galvanized nails or staples which penetrate a minimum of 1" and 4" on center. Apply 1/2" - 3/4" scratch coat and allow to dry 48 hours. Wrap weather resistant barrier and [metal] [plastic] lath a minimum of 16" around all outside and inside corners.
  • 2. Sheathed Surfaces: Install 1 layer of weather resistant barrier with lap joints 4" shingle fashion. Apply code approved [metal] [plastic] lath, attach with galvanized nails or staples which penetrate a minimum of 1". Apply 6" on center vertically and 16" on center horizontally. Wrap weather resistant barrier and [metal] [plastic] lath a minimum of 16" around all outside and inside corners.
  • 3. Concrete and Masonry Surfaces - New, Clean and Untreated: No preparation needed. Examine newly poured concrete closely to ensure that its finished surface contains no releasing agents (form oil). If it does contain form oil, etch surface with muriatic acid, rinse thoroughly and/or score with a wire brush, or use high pressure water or sandblasting to remove.
  • 4. Existing Concrete and Masonry Surfaces: If required, remove paint, coatings, sealers, and dirt as recommended herein.
  • 5. Apply [metal] [plastic] lath to surfaces, attach with galvanized concrete nails which penetrate a minimum of 1". Apply 6" apart, 16" on center.
  • 3.04 MANUFACTURED STONE VENEER INSTALLATION
  • A. Mortar: Apply 1/2" - 3/4" of mortar to [lath] [dampened masonry, stucco, or concrete surfaces], covering a maximum of 10 square feet at one time. Press the units firmly into position in soft mortar bed, wiggle and apply slight pressure to unit to ensure firm bonding, causing mortar to extrude slightly around edges of units.
  • B. Joints: Place units with uniform mortar joints. Stone joints should not be over 1/2" - 3/4" in width. When installing stones without a mortar joint, units should be fitted tight against each other with no allowance for mortar joints.
  • 1. Remove excess mortar; do not allow mortar to set up on face of units. Point and tool joints before mortar has set. Clean and finish joints in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
  • 04730 SIMULATED/MANUFACTURED STONE
  • LANDMARK STONE PRODUCTS
  • C. Setting Units: Press each stone into the mortar setting bed firmly enough to squeeze some mortar out around the stone's edges. Apply pressure to the stone to ensure a good bond. Ensure complete coverage between the mortar bed and back surface of the stone. Mortar may also be applied to entire back of the stone.
  • 1. Install hearth pieces in a 1/2" - 3/4" deep mortar setting bed.
