The most important steps for implementing stone and marble installation manually

There are several steps to carry out the process of installing marble manually, and the most prominent of these steps are the following:

• The walls are sprayed with cement brick, using trowels or using a wall spray machine, until the stone adheres well to the walls during the installation process.
• Work is also done to adjust the verticality of the wall, using a water level, a lamp, or a string balance. Marks protruding from the wall by up to 5 cm are weighed vertically by pulling a vertical string between these marks.
• Any excess on the walls where the distance between the string and the wall is less than 5 cm will be destroyed.
•  Installing an L-shaped iron angle at the bottom of the wall and weighing it horizontally using a pot and a water scale, and it can be weighed using a stature scale.
• Installation mortar is also prepared by mixing cement, sand and water.
• The mortar is transferred into the bucket next to the wall.

The facade of the building and the materials used in it.

How to install stone in the normal way 

There are several methods for mechanical installation of marble in the normal way, including the following:

• The work on installing the stone is done in the traditional way by working on placing a cement mixture consisting of white cement or black cement mixed with fine sand or fine ground. This mixture works like glue in order to glue and install the stone on the facade of the building or the facades of the villas.
• Then a special glue is placed between the stone pieces to ensure their adhesion to each other.
•  Iron is placed in each piece of this stone to increase the bond of the stone to the cement mixture and the wall. This method is affected by many factors, including climatic factors such as extreme cold or very high temperature, which causes defects to appear in the installation of the stone and some of the stone pieces to fall from the facade if not. It is installed in the correct way and this is what Kenda Real Estate offers.

•  It is also fixed in the building, and after that the space between the stone and the building is filled with a soft cement mixture or an insulating material. Thus, we will have added iron to reinforce and stabilize the stone, which ensures that it does not fall or even move from its place.
