Flexible Rammed Earth Look Panel Lightweight Bendable Natural Texture for Interior and Exterior Design

◇◇ Flexible Stone Production Process ◇◇

1. Material Preparation & Blending

Stone powder is uniformly mixed with complementary raw materials to create a homogeneous composite base ready for further processing.

2. Surface Glazing Treatment

A specialized glaze coating is applied to enhance surface smoothness and color vibrancy, while forming a protective barrier against abrasion and UV fading.

4. Primary Drying Stage

The composite material undergoes controlled drying to eliminate residual moisture, ensuring dimensional stability for subsequent production stages.

5. Surface Refinement

Imperfections and uneven areas are carefully filled and leveled to achieve uniform surface quality and consistent visual characteristics across all panels.

6. Structural Reinforcement

A high-strength fiber mesh backing is laminated to the material, providing enhanced structural support while maintaining optimal flexibility.

7. Secondary Curing Process

Panels undergo an additional drying cycle to permanently bond the stone layer with the mesh backing, optimizing both durability and adaptability.

8. Precision Cutting

Using advanced cutting systems, panels are trimmed to exact standard dimensions, ensuring perfect sizing and clean-edged finish for seamless installation.

9. Quality Packaging

Finished panels are systematically wrapped and packed with multiple protective layers to maintain pristine condition during storage and shipping.

◇◇ Flexible Stone Installation Process ◇◇

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Check for evenness to avoid any irregularities during application.

2. Pre-heating Flexible Stone: Before applying adhesive, use a heat gun to gently warm the back of the Flexible Stone. This step softens the material, enhancing its flexibility and ensuring better adherence to uneven or curved surfaces.

3. Applying Adhesive: Evenly spread the adhesive across the back of the Flexible Stone using a trowel or applicator. Make sure the adhesive covers the entire surface for a strong bond.

4. Positioning and Fixing: Carefully place the Flexible Stone onto the prepared surface, aligning it as needed. Press firmly to ensure proper adhesion. For larger panels, work in sections to maintain accuracy.

5. Trimming and Adjustments: Use a utility knife to trim edges or adjust shapes if necessary. Ensure all seams are aligned for a seamless finish.

6. Curing and Finishing: Allow the adhesive to cure completely as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Once dry, inspect the installation and clean any residue for a polished appearance.
