Lightweight Flexible Terracotta Brick Veneer for Rustic and Modern Wall Designs

◇◇ 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 glass fiber mesh backing is firmly laminated to the material, providing stable enhanced structural support while still maintaining the material’s optimal flexibility for curved or irregular surface applications.

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

With the application of intelligent numerical-control advanced cutting systems, panels are accurately trimmed to exact standard dimensions. This method ensures consistent perfect sizing and a neat clean-edged finish, making seamless installation faster and more efficient on-site.

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.

◇◇ FAQs ◇◇

Q: What is Flexible Stone?

A: Flexible Stone is an innovative wall surfacing material in the decorative industry that accurately replicates the natural look and tactile texture of real natural stone, while existing in a thin, highly pliable form (such as rolls or sheets). It skillfully combines long-lasting durability with hassle-free installation, making it well-suited for various interior and exterior applications—including residential living room walls, commercial storefront facades, and even public space decorative surfaces.

Q: Can it be used for outdoor projects?

A: Yes, it is fully suitable for outdoor projects. Equipped with excellent weather-resistant properties, it becomes an ideal choice for outdoor wall decoration. The material can effectively withstand long-term UV exposure, heavy moisture, and frequent temperature changes (from high heat to low cold), all while maintaining its original color and texture appearance over years of use.

Q: How easy is the installation process?

A: The installation process is very easy. Thanks to its lightweight structure and good flexibility, it can be easily cut into desired sizes and shaped into specific forms using common standard tools (such as utility knives and measuring tapes). For installation, only ordinary construction adhesives are needed—no professional heavy equipment is required—which helps significantly save both on-site construction time and labor costs.

Q: Is Flexible Stone an eco-friendly option?

A: Yes, it is a certified eco-friendly option. Its manufacturing process adopts strict sustainable practices, such as recycling production water and reducing waste discharge. Compared with conventional stone processing, it requires much fewer natural resources (e.g., reducing natural stone mining by over 30%), which strongly supports environmentally responsible construction projects.

Q: What maintenance is required?

A: Only minimal maintenance is required to keep it in good condition. For daily care, regular cleaning (about once a month) with a soft damp cloth or a mild, non-corrosive cleaning solution is sufficient to maintain its clean and tidy appearance. Additionally, its surface has strong stain resistance and can withstand minor scratches without affecting its overall look.
