Installation Guide – Limestone Crown Molding (2″x12″ Honed)
Step 1 — Surface Preparation: Clean and Level
Ensure all surrounding wall or tile surfaces are dry, clean, and smooth.
Draw a level guideline along the top edge where the crown molding will be installed.
Remove any dust, debris, or residue to improve mortar adhesion.
Step 2 — Dry Layout: Plan and Inspect
Dry-lay all crown molding pieces to check tone, veining, and alignment.
Use a wet saw with a fine diamond blade for precise cuts and miters at corners.
Confirm proper fit and alignment along the transition area before setting the pieces permanently.
Step 3 — Adhesive Application: Secure Placement
Recommended Mortars:
Instructions:
Apply a layer of thin-set mortar to the back of each molding piece using a margin trowel.
Back-butter the pieces for full contact and press firmly along the guideline.
Use painter’s tape to hold the molding in place while the mortar cures (minimum 24 hours).
Step 4 — Grouting: Finish the Seams
Wait at least 24 hours after setting before grouting.
Use unsanded grout to protect the honed surface from scratches.
Remove excess grout with a damp sponge and buff the surface after 30–45 minutes with a soft cloth.
Step 5 — Sealing: Protect and Preserve
Once grout has cured (approx. 72 hours), apply a penetrating sealer suitable for honed limestone.
Reapply periodically depending on moisture, wear, and environmental exposure.
Maintenance Tips
Clean only with pH-neutral stone cleaners.
Avoid acidic, bleach-based, or abrasive cleaning products.
Dust or wipe gently with a soft cloth to maintain the honed finish.
⚠️ Important Note:
Limestone is a natural stone and may vary in color and veining. Always dry-lay and inspect each piece prior to installation. Stonemarket USA is not responsible for installation errors or natural variations.
