Installation & Maintenance Tips

Installation Tips:

Measurement

The first step in the installation process is determining how much space is available and how many stones will be used for traditional walling. For flat surface stones, double the width and height by the number of apertures such as doors or windows. The total amount of space must be covered is indicated in square metres. To estimate corners, measure the vertical corners or the jambs of windows and doors.

Solid foundation

A structurally sound substrate is required after the stone cladding is installed. A brick or concrete base is recommended for your traditional wall cladding.

Prepare the surface

Traditional wall cladding struggles to keep in place on uneven or rough surfaces. Make sure to scratch the surface to balance it out. No contaminating substances on the surface, such as paint, wax, oil, or dirt, must exist. You can clean the surface with a damp cloth or by brushing it. Wait for the traditional wall cladding to dry.

Prepare the stone layout

Lay out a pattern on the ground to create one. Because each stone has a varied thickness or texture, the ground pattern allows for better positioning of pieces depending on size, texture, and colour variation and blending different pieces as needed.

Quality adhesive

On the market, there are several stone walling adhesives. Choose those that are suitable for your traditional walling range. You should be able to get help from the installer.

Please Note:
Always begin at the corners and work your way to the centre of the wall. A notched trowel is commonly used to apply the adhesive to the back of the stone. Make sure the surface is clean. Apply the glue to the stone evenly and press it against the wall. Using a spirit level, check the horizontal level of the cladding. Remove any extra adhesive using the trowel.

Grouting

After constructing the stone wall, fill the crevices with cement or grout between the stones. This will help to seal and tighten the area around the stone. Allow the grout to cure but not become stiff before striking out. Scrape along the joints with the striking stick to achieve a clean, even appearance for traditional walling.

Maintenance Tips:

Follow these upkeep recommendations to keep your traditional wall cladding looking beautiful:

To avoid scratches, clear debris regularly.
Use a soft mop and a pH-neutral cleaner appropriate for the cleaning material.
Use a mild cleaner made for the particular material to clean up spills to prevent discolouration quickly.
Cleaners with acids or abrasives should be avoided because they can damage the traditional walling ‘s surface.
Provide soft padding below to protect furniture from being damaged by pulling large objects.
To avoid dirt accumulation, sweep your traditional wall cladding occasionally. Then, wash with a gentle detergent.
Use the proper cleansers in wet places, such as showers, to remove mildew and water stains.
To maintain your traditional wall cladding’s longevity and visual appeal, seek professional advice about sealing them every two to three years.

Recommendations for Sealing for Longevity:

Consider the following sealing advice to improve the resilience and beauty of traditional wall cladding and other porous materials:

Before installation, dip-seal the traditional wall cladding with a product compatible with the chosen glue.
When necessary, look into anti-slip alternatives and clean the grout thoroughly.
Sealing traditional wall cladding tiles and pavers after installation is advised to protect them, increase their visual appeal, and assure their long-term durability.

But we couldn't be happier The price was So much cheaper than anywhere else we had looked. Amit made the whole process easy. From payment through bank transfer and delivery to Newcastle. They were in stock and delivered as promised on time , actually a day early. The quality is excellent our contractor was very impressed also.

Kylie Stirling

From ordering the tiles to pick up, the customer service was helpful and reliable. The tiles were even better looking in real life and they looks amazing! We are so happy with the quality.

Natalie Zecevic

Stone Depot has a great custom service to the point of you feel like a VIP, always picking up the calls, they even ask me if I want to go to the warehouse to choose the palette of tiles and to top it up we negotiate the price and I got a better deal. Do you want to know more?? The delivery was fantastic: on the right day, on time and with the forklift at my door step.

Gabriel Gonzalez

I’m really pleased with the purchase of travertine tiles for our swimming pool. Finding the right option was made so much easier with Travis, he was able to help promptly with any and all my questions. The product is great value for money and the only observation is that the stones are a little bit more slippery than we would like but otherwise came up really nice.

Pedro Gonzalez

Great customer service from Travis. Very helpful and the limestone pavers are beautiful and of great quality

Phil Boyd

Really great service, attentive sales person and very well priced product. Stone received in very good condition and Argento Marble installation looks great! It would be good if there was a drive-through outdoor display area at the depot, this was the only drawback trying to range samples, although these were offered for collection it was just difficult to coordinate.

Francis Maytham

Very happy with my travertine tiles. Very few was broken and they arrived on time. Good quality to a very good price.

Stina Malmqvist

Stone Depot were fantastic to deal with. We are a pool building company based in Regional NSW. We had to source White Limestone pavers for our clients. As we were not able to see the pavers physically we had to rely on Travis our online salesman to send photos and descriptions.
