1. Natural Stone Veneer Installation in Durham, CT:
Natural stone veneer installation involves applying thin slices or panels of real natural stone to walls, façades, or other surfaces. The goal is to achieve the look of a solid stone surface while minimizing the weight and cost of using full stone pieces. The process typically includes the following steps:
- Surface Preparation: The surface where the stone veneer will be installed is cleaned, leveled, and prepared. This might involve applying a moisture barrier and a base layer to ensure proper adhesion.
- Veneer Selection: Natural stone veneer comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. The desired style and appearance are selected based on the design preferences.
- Installation: The stone veneer pieces are attached to the prepared surface using mortar or adhesive. Our skilled installers ensure the stones are aligned and spaced properly to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Grouting: Once the stones are in place, mortar or grout is applied between the joints to create a cohesive look and enhance the illusion of real stone.
- Sealing: To protect the stone veneer and prevent moisture penetration, a sealer may be applied. The sealer also enhances the stone’s color and texture.
