Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a strong adhesive suitable for exterior stone, such as a high-strength stone mortar or specialized masonry glue. Ensure the mounting surface is completely free of dust, loose mortar, or moss before application. Regarding care, the stone cast material develops a natural patina over time. Periodic cleaning with mild soap and water using a soft brush is sufficient to remove debris. Avoid using high-pressure power washers, which may damage the hand-finished surface. During the winter, check that no water is trapped between the base and the mounting surface to prevent freeze-thaw damage.
