BECAUSE KAFKA ONLY PRODUCES AUTHENTIC STONE PRODUCT, the natural colors of our granite, quartzite, and marble

exist through the entire stone. Kafka’s Natural Thin Stone

Veneer wears and weathers naturally and maintains its

integrity through the life of your project.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT PIECES HELP REDUCE PRODUCTION, SHIPPING, AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS. With a nominal thickness of ¾” to 1 ½” the natural stone product

weighs 15lbs or less per square foot. Kafka Natural Thin Stone

Veneer can be installed without footings or ledges and adheres

to concrete, plywood, paneling, drywall, and even metal.

To ensure the integrity and longevity

of a project, we recommend that

a professional mason install our

natural thin stone veneer. If this

specialty building product is being

utilized in an exterior project, the

area that will be in contact with the

product must first be waterproofed

to industry standards. Next, any

chemical film on the wall should

be removed. Additional surface

preparation may be necessary,

depending on the type of material.

Some surfaces will need a non-

corrosive wire lath and a setting

mix before the material is applied.

To set the product, begin with any

corner pieces and alternate long

and short ends while stacking them

on top of each other. Type N or S

mortar is suitable for most projects,

possibly with the addition of a

bonding admixture. Once the

corners are complete, the rest of

the pattern can be filled in by

pressing each stone against the

scratch coat wall. Mortar should

be allowed to ooze and create grout

joints around the edge of each stone.
