New Concrete Masonry Wall
(Includes new concrete block or newly poured concrete wall Fig.2)
No special preparation is required for a concrete block wall. When working with a poured concrete wall, it is
important to take extra time to examine the entire surface as it may have areas of form release agents on the
concrete surface. To remove this oil, apply and etch areas with muriatic acid, rinse thoroughly and/or score
the area with a wire brush. After these surfaces are cleaned, rinsed and allowed to dry, the MSTONE material
can be installed directly to the concrete wall.
Existing Concrete Masonry Wall
(Includes sealed/painted concrete or brick work Fig.2)
Sandblast the surface to remove any paint or sealer. Rinse thoroughly. Once the surface
has dried, MSTONE material can be applied directly to the clean surface. If this application is
not reasonable, another option is to apply expanded metal lath to the painted or sealed
surface with concrete screws or nails.
