Akron veneers in grey-brown marble combines the classic elegance of marble with modern trends in architecture and design. This unique color mix adds depth and sophistication to any structure while preserving the natural beauty of the stone. The grey and brown tones create a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it ideal for both interior and exterior spaces. The contrast and nuances of this type of marble allow designers to experiment with various styles and textures, giving a unique character to both interiors and exteriors.

The aesthetics of grey-brown marble reflect the contemporary pursuit of balance between natural beauty and modern functionality. This type of masonry is perfect for creating clean, minimalist spaces that exude luxury and tranquility. The modernity of the material lies in its versatility and its ability to fit into both classic and avant-garde projects. Additionally, the durability of marble ensures that the beauty of the masonry will be preserved over the years, making it a preferred choice for contemporary architects and designers.

The installation process for masonry (caps and corners with cut back) for cladding typically includes the following steps:

Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface where the stone slabs will be installed is clean, stable, and free of dust, dirt, or grease. If necessary, remove cracks or imperfections and apply a weather-resistant underlay.

Layout and Design Planning: Design the layout and arrangement of the stone tiles for cladding, considering the desired combination of colors, aesthetics, and architectural elements. Temporarily place the stones without adhesive (dry lay) to determine the best arrangement and make necessary adjustments.

Applying Adhesive: Apply a suitable adhesive to the back of each stone using a notched trowel. Ensure you apply enough adhesive to secure proper bonding with the base.

Setting the Stones: Firmly press the stone slab with the smooth, cut back onto the prepared surface, starting from the bottom upwards. Use a slight twisting motion to ensure good contact between the stone and the adhesive. Maintain even spacing between the stones to achieve a uniform appearance.

Filling the Joints: Once the stones are set, fill the spaces between them with grout, depending on the desired effect.

Cleaning and Finishing: After the grout has partially set (follow the manufacturer’s instructions), clean the cladding surface with a brush and water. Carefully remove any excess adhesive or grout from the stone surface. Allow it to dry completely.

Impregnation: Depending on the type of stone and personal preferences, apply an impregnating sealer to the stone, which will enhance its appearance, protect it from stains, and increase its durability. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper application and drying time.

It is important to note that the installation process may vary depending on the specific product, manufacturer guidelines, and the condition of the substrate.

Additionally, adhering to safety requirements during installation is essential. Follow all necessary precautions, wear protective clothing, and consult local building codes and regulations for guidance on installing stone masonry.

Like every beautiful thing and like every natural material, natural stone requires proper care and maintenance.

We recommend: always treat stone surfaces with the right products for natural stone!

Regardless of the type of stone and its location, a single application of sealing agent will save you unnecessary worries and greatly facilitate maintenance.

Everything needs care. Use the high-quality German products from AKEMI, with which we have been working and recommending for years.

The treated impregnated surface does not allow water and contaminants to penetrate.

The protection with a sealer provides resistance against the destructive cycles of freezing and melting in external conditions. Water simply does not absorb when the stone surface is impregnated but forms droplets.

Depending on the type of sealer, it may not alter the external appearance of the stone or deepen its colors. Choose among the following types of sealers:

"Universal" sealer, which does not change the appearance of the stone and protects against water.

"Wet Effect" - a powerful sealer, like the Universal one, but with colors standing out in a more intense contrast.

"Stain-Free" is the best sealer: it protects against water and grease, also without changing the external appearance of the stone.

The frequency of reapplication depends on conditions and the usage of the stone tiles (whether it is flooring and traffic intensity). Usually, AKEMI recommends every 5 years for exterior stone, flooring + wet areas, and 10 years for interior stone (wall cladding).

How to apply the sealer? - It's easy, like child's play. The stone surface must be clean and very dry. The liquid is applied undiluted with a roller, sponge, or brush. If the surface is smooth polished or matte, a second step is required: the so-called "polishing" with a microfiber cloth for 20 minutes after applying the sealer. And we're done.

What cleaning products are used for natural stone? - Some types of stone, such as marble and travertine, are sensitive to acidic, very strong cleaning agents (e.g. bleach). We recommend: always clean your stone surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaning agent.

How to breathe new life into natural stone in the exterior?

In a few steps, natural stone can be restored to its original state, in its full brilliance and aesthetics.

First and foremost is regular cleaning and at least once a year thorough washing with a pressure washer. This is particularly important for our outdoor furniture products (barbecues, sinks, tables, countertops, and pavement tiles).

Once the surfaces are clean and dry, do not forget to apply a sealer.

Tip: Protect your outdoor flooring from furniture that may rust.

For specific stains such as oily spots, efflorescence (cement milk), mold, cement residues, or grout mixtures, silicones, or paints, it is best to contact us directly for consultation. Count on us; we will provide you with the right products to address the issue, wherever and whenever possible.

The durability of natural stone depends on the specific porosity of the stone type and its water absorption levels. For example, the porosity of granite and gneiss is around 1%, while sandstone has over 20%.

The biggest destructive enemies for items, coverings, and pavements exposed year-round are the sun and freeze/thaw cycles. When the stone is sealed/waterproof, you will receive maximum protection and much easier maintenance.

In severe cases of areas with contamination, the non-polished stone surface can be treated with an angle grinder and fine sandpapers. This process removes the top layer of the stone, making it look like new. (The process is similar to sanding wooden parquet.)

Stone is the best friend of the yard and garden. With love for beautiful, natural materials and proper care, the stone will continue to bring you joy for many years to come.
