What is Weathered Stone™?
Weathered Stone™ is produced on a canvas backing; the texture is
primarily plaster, and has 15% additives for strength and
durability. The product is then cut, cracked, and colored by hand.
Weathered Stone™ has 22 standard colors, and custom colors are
available. The product is manufactured in pre-cut sizes, and can
easily be cut down to any size or shape.
Weathered Stone’s™ Installation Process:
Weathered Stone™ becomes pliable during the installation process,
and dries after applied to a solid surface. The result is a sheet of
stone that can be molded, bent and shaped around any interior
surface. All adhesives are water based, making installation simple
and time efficient. The final step of grouting the seams gives the
installed product added depth and texture.
Can Weathered Stone™ Be Repaired?
Weathered Stone’s™ specially formulated grout has a colorant in it
that will repair any small nicks or dings in the product. The grout
is non-caustic, and will simply wipe on the damaged Weathered
Stone™, and then can be wiped back off, instantly repairing any
dings or nicks in the product.
