4 – INTRODUCTION
SUGGESTION NO 3
PROVIDE A MINIMUM OVERLAP OF 4 INCHES
The minimum overlapping of the stone should be a minimum of 4 inches.
These are just a few basic rules to help you successfully complete
your masonry project.
For further technical information we suggest you to consult
the following sources:
• In English: CSA Standards, Applicable Building Code and the CCMPA.
• In French: IMQ, Normes CSA and Code National du Bâtiment
SUGGESTION NO 1
AVOID BOXES
When a group of stones forms a compartment (rectangle or square) it
creates joints that should be broken. Adding a different dimension stone
usually solves the problem. However, in some projects, such as small
columns or pilasters, it is diffi cult (or impossible) to avoid them.
AVOID GOOD PRACTICE
SUGGESTION NO 2
AVOID LONG VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL JOINTS
To maintain an aesthetic appearance of the wall, we suggest taking the
height of the largest stone as the maximum reference for the vertical
joints. Concerning the length of the horizontal joints, they should be less
than 4 feet long.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE IS TO EXPLORE IN MORE
DETAIL CERTAIN AESTHETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF
PERMACON’S PRODUCTS AND PRESENT SEVERAL BEST
PRACTICES WITH REGARDS TO MASONRY INSTALLATION.
WE HOPE THIS GUIDE WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE IN THE
BEST POSSIBLE WAY YOUR MASONRY PROJECTS USING OUR
EXTENSIVE PRODUCT LINES.
WE HAVE INCLUDED SOME SUGGESTIONS TO FOLLOW WHEN
INSTALLING MASONRY.
PLEASE NOTE ALL PERMACON PRODUCTS ARE
MANUFACTURED WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS LIKE SAND
AND STONE. THEREFORE, IT IS NORMAL AND DESIRABLE THAT
THE FINAL BUILDING APPEARANCE SHOWS COLOR VARIATION.

TRICKS (Regarding suggestion NO 2)
To avoid long joints, we recommend that you follow these two
simple tricks:
Trick NO 1
Install a small (S) and a medium (M) size stone beside a large (L) stone.
Trick NO 2
For two courses, alternate a sequence of small (S) and medium (M)
stones. This technique is particularly effi cient to avoid long horizontal
joints.

Identify the “mortar joints” and the “inner joints”.The basic principle would be to have the “mortar joints”and “inner joints” as similar in thickness as possible.
In order to make sure that all the mortar joints have the same color, tool them when they have the same fi rmness. It should be noted that the fi rmer the joints, the darker the colour will be when tooled.
Forty percent (40%) of the stones have a textured end to easily achieve corners. They are easily identifi able, always located on one side of a row on the cube.
Try to achieve a “mortar joint” of approximately 6 mm (1/4 in) thick so that you can obtain an equal appearance throughout the stones.
Once the installation is complete, clean the wall thoroughly with a stiff brush in order to remove any excess mortar. Remove any residue in the “inner joint” with a trowel, a thin jointing tool or any other similar tool. Leave wall to dry for approximately 24 hours or until completely dry. Wash with any stone or masonry cleaner recommended by Permacon. Repeat this last step as needed.
Leave a recessed joint of 6 mm (¼ in) deep comparedto the deepest stone, so that all joints appear equal.

SPECIFIC INSTALLATION GUIDE
You will notice that the cubes come with all four modules of Lamina stone.
We suggest the use of mortar in its natural colour so that it can easily blend into the stone colours. We advise using a thin jointing tool to achieve a 6 mm (1/4 in) thick joint.
Lamina stone is installed like any other masonry veneer.The units should be installed randomly.
All of the stones measure 90 mm (3 1/2 in) in actual depth and 95.25 mm (3 3/4 in) in actual height for an easy installation.
The selection of each stone needs to be as random in length and texture as possible to achieve a more natural look and feel. Avoid creating “boxes” while installing, by overlapping the stones at least 101.6 mm (4 in) to obtain the best interlocking results.
Each stone has different reliefs. This should be taken into consideration when installing the stone.

DESCRIPTIVE DATA SHEET / URBANIKA® BRICK AND STONE – 21
URBANIKA® BRICK AND STONEDESCRIPTION
With its generous proportions, lightly chiseled texture, and sharped edges,
Urbanika brick gives your home a clean, contemporary look. Urbanika
stone with a slate-like texture is also available in the same family. It is
ideal for the starting course of a masonry wall, and its modular format
complements Urbanika brick perfectly—making it a valuable asset for
designing projects
Characteristics and benefi ts
• Choice of trendy and subtle colours.
• Size lowers overall costs (materials and installation).
• Uniform distribution of pigments throughout the brick that preserve
their colour year after year rather than just on the surface.
