Flexible Slate Veneer Sheet Lightweight Bendable Natural Stone Panel for Wall Cladding Decor

◇◇ Flexible Stone Production Process ◇◇

1. Mixing

Mix the stone powder with other raw materials together.

2. Glazing

A glazing layer is applied to the mixed material to achieve a smooth surface and enhance the color vibrancy of the final product. This step also adds a protective layer to prevent wear and discoloration.

4. Drying

The material is carefully dried to remove any excess moisture. This ensures the stone panels achieve the necessary stability and durability for further processing.

5. Re-filling

In this step, any gaps or inconsistencies in the material are filled to create a uniform surface. This process ensures the finished product maintains a consistent appearance and quality.

6. Laying Fiber Mesh

A fiber mesh backing is applied to the dried material, adding structural support and enhancing the flexibility of the stone panels. This reinforcement makes the panels easy to install and more resistant to wear and tear.

7. Drying Again

The panels undergo a second drying process to solidify the bond between the stone material and the fiber mesh. This step is crucial for achieving the desired durability and flexibility.

8. Shearing

The panels are precisely cut into standardized sizes to ensure easy handling and installation. This step guarantees that each Flexible Stone panel meets the required specifications.

9. Packaging

Finally, the finished Flexible Stone panels are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transportation. Each package includes protective layers to ensure the product reaches customers in perfect condition.

◇◇ 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.
