How to install stone cladding

Whether you’re installing stone cladding to an internal or external wall, Power Grab ‘n’ Bond is the best tool for the job. It won’t let you down and guarantees long-lasting, powerful results. You don’t have to be a professional tradesperson to fit a stone surround around a fireplace as long as you have Power Grab ‘n’ Bond in hand.

Here are the steps to follow if you use Power Grab ‘n’ Bond to bond fireplace stone cladding:

1. Before you apply Power Grab ‘n’ Bond to place stone to a wall or fireplace surround, you must ensure that the surfaces are clean and dry. This is the first step and potentially the most important as it helps to prepare the area for powerful adhesion with long-lasting results.
2. Laying stones doesn’t require a lot of time or skilled labour. Power Grab ‘n’ Bond reduces labour time by 50%. As long as you have the stone prepared for adhesion, all you have to do is cut the tube at the nose and apply the adhesive.
3. When working with stone, it’s a wise decision to seal it with a high-quality PVA solution. This is because stone is a naturally very porous material.
4. Place the stones on the desired area and press. Wait for four minutes for the bond to secure the stone to the fireplace surround. Don’t worry, there is no need for any additional fixings or supports. Power Grab ‘n’ Bond is the only adhesion you need to bond stone to a fireplace surround.
