Manufactured stone provides the realism of natural stone at an installed cost of a fraction of natural stone. Because Dutch Quality manufactured stone is made of lightweight material, it is classified as an adhered veneer as does not require a footing or mechanical support for installation.
Adhered stone veneer is designed and intended as a wall covering. Using adhered stone veneer on a horizontally oriented fashion is not preferred. Do not use adhered stone veneer as a paver or a wall cap. Do not install adhered stone in a situation in which continuous or frequent exposure to water is possible such as pool or Jacuzzi copings or surrounds. Adhered stone veneer is not intended to be installed on stair risers where deicing salts or snow shovels can damage the stone façade.
Type S mortar complying with ASTM C270 is the most common mortar used to bond adhered stone veneer. For additional strength in challenging conditions, use polymer modified mortars. The polymer modified mortars provide a superior bond that exceeds the minimum bond strength by a factor of 5x or greater. Polymer modified mortars also allow for stone movement during installation without losing bond strength, making it a great choice for tight dry-stacked stone profiles.
The building code requires a clearance between the stone veneer and the grade or ground level. There are several reasons for this and most of these reasons involve protection of the wall, not the stone! Behind the stone veneer is a drainage plane that was created when the weather-resistive barrier was installed. The purpose of this plane is to collect and direct any water that squeaks behind the wall façade downward and out the base of the wall. If the base of the veneer wall is at or below grade, proper drainage will be impaired. Secondly, water that pools or collects at the wall base can rise into the wall through capillary action and enter the structure. Thirdly, if the veneer is in contact with vegetation (grass, plants, etc.), growth into the wall is possible. Also, bugs and insects, including termites, will find it convenient to enter the wall system when the wall is in direct contact with earth. Finally, the stone is not designed to be continually wet or subject to the harsh chemicals found in soils.
Travertine is a soft, porous, calcitic sedimentary rock, which, unlike other limestones, usually forms in caves or around thermal springs, when geothermally heated alkaline water with high mineral contents penetrate the surface and evaporate, leaving behind columns or stacks of calcium carbonate in the form of stalagmites or stalactites, often displaying a banded appearance due to the way it rapidly forms over other rock at varying intervals. Naturally white due to its calcite and carbonate composition, it can display other colourings due to the mineral content and staining during its formation. Used extensively by ancient empires from Egypt to Rome, both countries have remained the chief exporters of dimensioned blocks, slabs, bricks, sheets and veneers of travertine which is usually fairly cool and smooth to touch, with high quality variants able to accept a polish.This smooth finished, classic, soft tone blonde travertine stone displays a gorgeous banding between light, golden blonde and sliver streaks, owing to its formation, with bands of deep scores and pores. It can be used internally and, if treated with a protective coating or polish, externally for flooring, patios, wall cladding, window and door surrounds, stairs, fireplace and bathroom surrounds, splashbacks and kitchen worktops, being slip resistant and a premium, highly decorative finishing material. The soft golden-blonde base with white and grey speckles and streaks of large cracks and pores create a dynamic, intriguing surface, while chips and blemishes are frequent, evident of a material which is less suited to high traffic areas. Without proper treatment, travertine is susceptible to staining and corrosion from acidic substances and is a porous stone, therefore it must be properly sealed and coated when specified in wet areas or as kitchen worktops or splashbacks. The naturally smooth texture and stable, clearly banded, slight variations in tone and pattern are characteristic of travertine. The finish offers a reflective, joyful, high quality appearance with its higher-than-usual level of sheen thanks to its honed or polished finish.
