Installation Guide – Eterna Bianco 6″x24″ Splitface LedgeStone Panel (Wall Use Only)
Step 1: Surface Preparation
- Ensure the wall surface is clean, level, dry, and stable.
- Approved substrates include concrete, cement board, or masonry block.
- Apply a waterproof membrane for wet areas such as shower walls or exteriors.
- Do not install directly over painted drywall or plaster—use cement backer board instead.
Step 2: Layout Planning
- Dry-lay panels on the floor to visualize veining variation and texture.
- Stagger seams between rows for a seamless appearance.
- Use a level to draw reference lines for consistent horizontal alignment during installation.
- This product is designed for vertical applications only.
Step 3: Mortar Application
Recommended Mortars:
- Mapei Ultraflex LFT
- Laticrete 254 Platinum
- Custom Building Products VersaBond-LFT
Instructions:
- Apply mortar using a 1/2″ square-notched trowel.
- Back-butter each panel to ensure full contact with the wall surface.
- Begin at the bottom center and press panels into place with a slight twisting motion.
- Use a level and rubber mallet to maintain flush placement.
Step 4: Cutting & Edging
- Cut panels using a wet saw with a diamond blade.
- Miter-cut corners for external edges or use matching corner pieces.
- Always wear proper eye and hand protection when cutting.
Step 5: Finalizing
- This is a dry-stack system – no grout is required.
- Clean off excess mortar immediately with a damp cloth or sponge.
- Allow a 24–48 hour curing time before sealing or exposing to moisture.
Step 6: Sealing (Recommended)
- Use a penetrating sealer made for natural stone and splitface textures.
- Apply evenly with a low-pressure sprayer or brush.
- Repeat sealing every 1–2 years depending on environmental exposure.
Maintenance Tips
- Use soft brushes or microfiber cloths for cleaning textured stone.
- Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that may damage the stone’s natural finish.
- Reapply sealer regularly to maintain water and stain resistance.
