TERRAFORM will encourage you to think outside the box which, in the stone cladding world, means beyond set formats and shapes. This means zeroing in on the texture and color instead. TERRAFORM Cladding is naturally split from larger, thicker pieces into smaller irregular shapes, which are then sawn-cut on the backside. This raw textural form is the painters palette for truly great masons, who will then deliver spectacular on-the-wall styling. The sawn-cut back will also allow for a solid connection with the substrate whilst maintaining the thin veneer nature of the product which enables it to be installed more easily and quickly then full bed stone.

INSTALLATION & CARE
Installation Instructions:
Historically the stone that might have been used in this type of application would have been several inches thick and have significant weight to it. We refer to that material as "full bed" stone veneer. These historical installations of the decades and centuries past relied a lot more on a stacking technique, where the stones not only fit together to form a beautiful looking wall face, they also supported the weight of the stones from the bottom up. Advances in machine technology has given rise to a new, thinner profile of TerraForm Stone Cladding, which is normally less than 2" thick, and installed by adhering directly to the wall. Stacking up on the stone below it is no longer required. Dry Fit Style: This newer style of installing is considered the most technically advanced and current urban look in the international designer markets today. Use only skilled masons to achieve this look. Mockups are recommended. Mortar Joint Style: This more Traditional style is a classic, versatile, and efficient use of our TerraFormTM material. Use different colored mortar joints to create a unique look that matches your unique project and design appetite.
