Heritage Stone Products

Heritage stone is a lightweight concrete veneer product, designed for cosmetic use on indoor or exterior walls in both residential and commercial applications.  The product is intended for non-structural use, and because of its light weight, requires no additional footings.  Heritage Stone veneer is easy to install and can be applied to almost any load-bearing wall, wood frame, steel, or masonry.

Maintenance

Most applications require little to no maintenance.  Exterior applications where excessive dust or dirt accumulates should be washed down occasionally.

     Cleaning - Do not pressure wash, sandblast, use wire brushes or acids for cleaning.  If mortar dripping occurs, use a wet sponge within 4 hours of grouting.  After 48 hours, it may be cleaned with a mild solution of warm water and tri-sodium phosphate.  First, wet the wall thoroughly with water.  Second, scrub the wall with T.S.P. solution using a still plastic brush.  Finally, rinse the wall thoroughly.  If you need further assistance, call us at 620-663-1269.

     Efflorescence - Efflorescence is a white residue that sometimes appears on masonry surfaces.  As moisture makes its way through concrete, from the inside out, it may bring with it any soluble salts residing in the concrete or mortar.  When the moisture evaporates it leaves the soluble salts on the masonry surfaces.  To clean efflorescence off of a masonry surface, mix 1 part white vinegar to 5 parts clean water.  With a soft bristled brush lightly scrub the masonry surface with the water/vinegar mixture.  Do not use acids, power washing equipment or other cleaning agents to remove efflorescence.
