Ledge Stone - Sonoma

Hi, can any of these stones be used on a curved concrete wall?

Thank you for your question and interest in our stone veneer. Our stone can be installed over pretty much any surface including a rounded surface. The current surface will determine the appropriate surface prep for our stone veneer. The circumference will affect how the stones will install over the rounded section. Some longer pieces may have to be cut depending on how tight the rounded section is. Our installation instructions can be downloaded at https://mountainviewstone.net/pages/post-purchase-support. For the surface prep, which is the most important step, you will need to install a moisture barrier and then install wire lath over that. Make sure the nails or screws for wire lath hit studs to ensure a good foundation. Your scratch coat goes over the wire lath and then the stone veneer. We recommend our stone veneer and brick veneer be installed with Type S mortar. Mortar is recommended for installation opposed to an adhesive as mortar is cheaper than adhesive, and when installing with an adhesive you must hold the stone in place until the adhesive sets which really slows down installation time, whereas mortar instantly holds. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

My question is what is the best material to use to apply it to cinder block? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

How much does a 150 square foot pallet weigh? When it is shipped do I need a dock, or forklift?

Thank you for your question and interest in our stone veneer. Each 10 square foot box weighs roughly 80-90lbs and corners weigh roughly 70-80lbs per box. Each 150 square foot box weighs roughly 1450lbs. Pallet dimensions for a 150 square foot pallet are 48" x 40" x 28". The delivery truck will have a liftgate and pallet jack to unload your order, no loading dock required, but it is a lot easier to unload and move around with a forklift if available on site. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
