Installation Guide – Eterna Bianco 6″x24″ Split-Face Ledgestone Panel (Vertical Wall Use Only)
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Ensure the wall is clean, level, dry, and structurally stable.
Suitable substrates: concrete, cement backer board, or masonry block.
Apply a waterproof membrane in wet areas, including showers or exterior walls.
Avoid installing directly over painted drywall or plaster; use cement backer board instead.
Step 2: Layout Planning
Dry-lay panels to assess veining, texture, and color variation.
Stagger seams for a natural, seamless appearance.
Mark horizontal reference lines with a level to maintain consistent alignment.
Note: Panels are designed for vertical wall installation only.
Step 3: Mortar Application
Recommended Mortars:
Instructions:
Apply mortar using a 1/2″ square-notched trowel.
Back-butter each panel to ensure full coverage and adhesion.
Begin at the bottom center, pressing panels into place with a slight twisting motion.
Use a level and rubber mallet to maintain flush, even placement.
Step 4: Cutting & Edge Work
Cut panels with a wet saw and diamond blade suitable for natural stone.
Miter external corners or use matching corner pieces for a finished look.
Always wear proper eye and hand protection during cutting.
Step 5: Finalizing
This is a dry-stack system; grout is not required.
Wipe away excess mortar immediately with a damp cloth or sponge.
Allow 24–48 hours for curing before sealing or exposure to moisture.
Step 6: Sealing (Recommended)
Apply a penetrating sealer suitable for natural stone and split-face surfaces.
Apply evenly with a brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer.
Reapply every 1–2 years depending on exposure and environmental conditions.
Maintenance Tips
Clean textured surfaces with soft brushes or microfiber cloths.
Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that may damage the stone.
Reapply sealer regularly to maintain stain and water resistance.
