LEG/stone masonry imitation stone tiles Recommended installation method
We will introduce some recommended tips for installing the stone-block style imitation stone tile Can'Stone to give the finished product a more realistic look that resembles stacked stones.
Tips for constructing stone masonry imitation stone LEG
Tight stacking
When stacking tightly, there will inevitably be situations where spaces form between the stones.
When the main stones are laid on the ground, small pieces of stone are often broken and placed in between to prevent the stones from collapsing and to increase the density of the wall.
Check! Points
Stainless steel wire processed CAN'STONE
Stainless steel wire is embedded into the back of the tile to physically fasten the wire to the base.
Since we will process the product, it will be shipped in the condition shown in the photo.
Please clean the base surface beforehand. Check that the base is firmly fixed and that there are no unevenness in the joints of the boards, etc.
1-1: Use a spatula or similar tool to apply dots of adhesive to the back of the stone in the form of balls.
Alternatively, apply the product until the back of the tile is no longer visible.
1-2: Please attach the film by referring to the installation instructions . Press it firmly until the adhesive comes out.
1-3: Fix the screw in place so that the stainless steel wire can be pulled out about 100 mm from the stone.
※important point※
Please drive the screw into the side where the stainless steel wire is sticking out. (Photo 1)
Do not drive the screws all the way in. (Photo 2)

1) Use glue that is close to the color of the tile you are using.
Because the color of the tile and the glue are close, the gaps in the color of the gaps can be filled in, making it look like there is no glue at all.
If there are still many gaps, go to ②
②Cut the stones and fill in the gaps.
By filling in the gaps, the amount of base coat visible is reduced, resulting in a beautiful look.
It is possible to achieve a finish that is close to the original stone masonry design.
If you have a sander or similar tool on hand, use it to cut the material to fit the dimensions of the gap.
If you want to create a rougher look, use a hammer or something similar to hit the thin parts of the tile to adjust the size and create pieces to fit between them.
If the tile aggregate becomes visible on the surface, use Stone Aid, sold separately.
