It is not required to seal our Stone. A sealer will provide added protection and will usually be easier to clean if the surface becomes dirty. If you choose to use a sealer for added protection, use a penetrating breathable masonry sealer. NOTE: A sealer may affect the stone colour and may create a gloss or matte finish. Always test a small area beforehand.

PGH Stone products will perform the same as any other quality reconstituted stone. Although, it should be taken into consideration with any reconstituted stone or natural material, continued exposure to chlorine and other chemicals may eventually affect the colouration of the products. When frequently exposed to water, we recommend protection with a non-film breathable masonry sealer. NOTE: A sealer may affect the stone colour and may create a gloss or matte finish. Always test a small area beforehand.

The base colour is blended throughout, and permanent mineral oxide pigments are applied and absorbed when the veneer is cast. Colour becomes an integral part of the veneer and, like natural stone, there are minimal noticeable colour changes after years of weathering. 15-year warranty against colour fade no greater than two percent.
The choice between mortar or grout comes down to personal preference. Either can be used. Sand and cement-based mortar can be tinted with an iron oxide pigment. This style of application can enhance or accompany the stone colour used. Tile grout can also be used to achieve the same outcome. Please refer back to the grout manufacturer for technical assistance.
In general, installation of PGH Stone can be installed by almost anyone. However, installation does require a fundamental understanding of stone masonry. For Classic Ledgestone and Rugged Ledgestone, we highly recommend a professional installer. Please refer to our user installation guide.
As with any building material, the beauty of the product is greatly enhanced by how well it is installed. With PGH Stone, careful consideration regarding the type of profile and colour selected, the actual installed stone "pattern" and the type of grout technique used, are all very important factors to take in consideration. It is always best to create a mock-up board with the desired aesthetic appeal prior to installation on your project.
Yes, PGH Stone is easily cut or trimmed. We highly recommend the use of a dustless vacuum saw. If a hatchet or wide-mouth nipper is used, minor chipping can occur so edges should be finished with a grinder for best results.
Manufactured from crushed sandstone chips tend to blend in with the face colour and add a natural appearance to the Stone.
Not recommended for walkways due to the undulating finish. Not recommended for water features due to water absorption and adhesion.
