Materials You’ll Need

  • Flexible Travertine Stone Tiles or Brick Facings
  • Suitable indoor or outdoor adhesive
  • Measuring tape
  • Sharp Stanley knife
  • Sponge and water for cleaning
  • Grout, if desired

Before You Start

The most important step is surface preparation. Make sure your wall is clean, dry, smooth and free from dust, loose paint, grease or debris.

Sand down any rough patches if needed so the adhesive can create a strong, even bond.

Choosing the Right Adhesive

For Outdoor Use

Use a high-strength exterior adhesive, such as a weather-resistant construction adhesive specifically formulated for outdoor conditions. This helps the installation handle temperature changes, moisture and other exterior elements.

For Indoor Use

Use a general-purpose on-contact adhesive suitable for flexible materials. This works well for dry interior areas such as walls, backsplashes and feature walls.

Tip: For best results, choose an adhesive designed for flexible materials, especially if you are installing onto curved, uneven or irregular surfaces.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Follow these steps to achieve a clean, aligned and professional-looking stone or brick finish.

1

Prepare the Surface

Make sure the wall is clean, dry, smooth and free from dust. Sand down any rough patches if needed before you begin.

2

Measure and Plan Your Layout

Use a measuring tape to mark the centre of the surface, then work outward from there. This helps keep the installation balanced and evenly placed.

Lay out a few tiles or brick facings without adhesive first so you can check your design, spacing and alignment before committing.

3

Apply Adhesive

Spread adhesive onto a small section of the surface, working in manageable areas so it does not dry before the tiles or brick facings are applied.

Apply adhesive evenly and only cover the section you plan to install immediately.

4

Install Tiles or Brick Facings

Press each tile or brick facing firmly into the adhesive, making sure it is aligned correctly.

  • Flexible Travertine Stone Tiles: score with a sharp Stanley knife, then snap along the scored line for a clean break.
  • Flexible Brick Facings: cut to size with a Stanley knife for corners, edges or irregular shapes.
5

Align and Trim

Use a level to keep rows straight and spacing even. For corners and edges, measure carefully, score and snap or trim for a neat fit.

Keep spacing consistent between tiles or brick facings for a seamless, balanced look.

6

Clean and Let Set

Wipe away any excess adhesive with a damp sponge as you go.

Allow the adhesive to cure fully. This is usually 24–48 hours, but always check the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.

7

Grout, If Desired

Grouting is optional. If you want a more traditional tiled or masonry-style finish, apply grout between the tiles or brick facings using a rubber float.

Wipe away excess grout with a damp sponge and allow it to cure according to the grout instructions.

8

Final Clean

Once everything is dry, clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove grout residue, adhesive marks or dust.

Your new stone or brick-look surface is now ready to enjoy.

For the Best Result

Work in small sections, check alignment regularly, clean adhesive as you go, and allow enough curing time before exposing the area to moisture, weather or heavy use.
