Some of the the most frequently asked questions when it comes to thin veneer center around how to install it. To answer these questions and many others, Stoneyard.com is teaming up with Laticrete International Inc. to provide a live demonstration and contractor training.

“There is no better way to learn than hands on in the field,” says Stoneyard.com's David Croteau. “Over the three days, you will be able to see from start to finish how our natural stone thin veneer is installed in an exterior application. The Laticrete Masonry Veneer Installation System is the perfect choice for installing outside.”

Laticrete International Air & Water Barrier, Hi-Bond Masonry Veneer Mortar, and Premium Pointing Mortar all come with a 25-year warranty. The Boston Blend Mosaic consists of New England fieldstones that have been gathered from local farms and fields. These stones have been exposed to the elements and have gone through many freeze/thaw cycles over the last 100 years.

The demo and training event is going to be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 43 Sea Oaks Lane, Ogunquit, Maine. Parking is available in the Perkins parking lot on Shore Road, Ogunquit, Maine (a five-minute walk from the event).
