Flexible Travertine Stone Panel Lightweight Bendable Wall Cladding for Interior Exterior Use

◇◇ Flexible Stone Production Process ◇◇

1. Raw Material Blending

Natural stone powder is uniformly combined with polymer adhesives, forming a homogeneous composite that delivers consistent workability and lasting flexibility.

2. Surface Glazing

A glazing layer is applied to enhance color richness and surface smoothness, while providing added protection against wear and fading.

4. Initial Drying Phase

The prepared material is dried under controlled conditions to eliminate residual moisture, ensuring dimensional stability and readiness for subsequent stages.

5. Surface Refinement

Any surface imperfections are filled and leveled to achieve a uniform texture and consistent visual quality across all panels.

6. Mesh Backing Application

A reinforcing fiber mesh is laminated onto the material, providing structural support and flexibility to facilitate installation and enhance durability.

7. Secondary Drying Cycle

The panels undergo another drying process to fully bond the stone layer with the mesh backing, optimizing strength and adaptability.

8. Precision Cutting

Panels are trimmed to standardized dimensions using specialized equipment, ensuring accurate sizing and clean edges for seamless installation.

9. Protective Packaging

Finished panels are carefully wrapped and packed with protective materials to safeguard against damage during storage and transit.

◇◇ 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.
