FAQs
While codes allow for adhered veneer thickness up to 2−5/8, in areas with severe freeze-thaw cycling, thicker stone pieces generally fare better. It is recommended to choose a Suistone veneer product with a low absorption coefficient to minimize water penetration and subsequent damage during freezing. The installer must also ensure the installation adheres to regional building codes, which may require specific cementitious backing thicknesses.
To best protect Suistone products, an impregnating (penetrating) sealer is recommended. This type of sealer soaks into the stone’s pores to repel water and oil-based stains from within, without altering the stone’s natural look or breathability. While it won’t prevent UV fading, the use of a high-quality penetrating sealer is crucial for preserving the stone’s color and preventing staining.
Sandstone is a porous, sedimentary rock with a high friction surface, making it excellent for pool decks and patios, but it requires diligent sealing. Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that is significantly harder, less porous, and more resistant to scratching and etching, making it an extremely durable, high-end choice for heavy-traffic areas and harsh weather.
Yes, for large or unique architectural and landscape projects, Suistone generally works with custom stone fabricators who utilize advanced CNC and water jet technology. This allows for bespoke cuts, intricate curves, custom edge profiles, and the fabrication of specialized pieces such as hearths, mantels, custom pool coping, and oversized treads.
