Variations
Since VersaLite Stone® Veneer is a natural product DESIGNED BY NATURE, colour and texture
variances are not defects within the material, but are inherent to it and part of the natural beauty of
quarried materials.
Cannot be guaranteed to match dye-lot to dye-lot, so it is recommended that orders take into account
future maintenance or re-fit possibilities.
UV & Temperature
The stone surface of VersaLite Stone® Veneer, like most stone elements, acts as a UV inhibitor and will
resist high sun conditions for years. When adhered to a substrate, VersaLite Stone® Veneerwill
handle thermal contraction and or expansion of most standard construction materials.
VersaLite Stone®Veneer will handle both, - high temperatures and freezing without cracking.
Storage
The storage of unsealed VersaLite Stone®Veneer material must be dry, preferably frost-free and sun
Protected. Protect against climatic influences.
Precautions
Precautions must be taken when working with VersaLite Stone® Veneerdue to the fiberglass
composition of the backing materials. ALWAYS use the proper gloves, goggles, and dust mask when
working with VersaLite Stone® Veneer. Industry standards recommend a NIOSH/MSHA approved
respirator for this type of material. When using a saw ALWAYS be sure to take proper precautions to
cover skin and eyes from fiberglass dust. When cutting VersaLite Stone®Veneer with saws, grinders,
or sanders, ALWAYS properly filter and exhaust equipment.
