Installation Guide – Myra Shell 6″x24″ 3D Ledgestone Panel (Limestone)
Step 1: Surface Preparation
- Ensure the vertical surface is structurally sound, clean, dry, and free from contaminants.
- Acceptable substrates include cement backer board, concrete, or masonry block.
- Install a waterproof membrane in wet or exterior areas.
- Limestone is porous—avoid direct installation over drywall.
Step 2: Layout Planning
- Dry-lay several pieces to understand color and texture variations.
- Start from the bottom and work upwards in a staggered layout.
- Use a level and snap horizontal chalk lines to maintain alignment.
Step 3: Adhesive Application
Recommended Adhesives for Limestone:
- Laticrete 254 Platinum or Mapei Ultraflex LFT (non-acidic, flexible mortars)
- Use white thin-set to prevent shadowing through the light-colored limestone.
Instructions:
- Apply adhesive to both the wall and the back of the panel using a 1/2″ square-notched trowel.
- Back-butter each piece to ensure full contact.
- Press the panel firmly into place and slide slightly for better bond.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade suitable for soft natural stone.
- Always wear protective gear and cut outdoors or in a well-ventilated space.
- Pre-fit all corner and edge pieces before securing them in place.
Step 5: Finishing
- No grout required for dry-stack installation.
- Clean excess adhesive immediately with a damp sponge.
- Allow panels to cure for 24–48 hours before exposure to water or handling.
Step 6: Sealing
- Limestone is porous—apply a high-quality penetrating sealer safe for natural stone.
- Do not use acidic or solvent-based sealers, which may damage the surface.
- Reapply sealer every 1–2 years depending on exposure conditions.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean using pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth or brush.
- Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can etch or dull the surface.
