Important: A full size sample panel
complete with complementary mortar
should be installed at the jobsite prior
to installation of any PRAIRIE stone
product. This panel will represent the
quality, color and texture of the product
and the workmanship to be expected
for the project. Either the owner or the
project architect must approve the panel.
PRAIRIE stone will provide 4" units for a
sample panel 4' x 4' at no cost for the
material (not including freight to the site).

Limitations
The facing is not intended for use as an
impervious surface.
Muratic acid should not be used as a
cleaning agent or in direct contact with
the facing.
The facing should not be continuously
exposed to temperatures above 250° F.

Installation Recommendations
Cavity wall construction is recommended
for exterior walls, with proper flashing,
venting and weep holes.
A complementary or matching mortar color
is recommended when using PRAIRIE stone
units.
Control joint spacing should be
approximately 20' maximum.
Continuous horizontal joint reinforcement
is recommended every 16" or every course
when installing 12" and 16" high units.
Keep walls clean by bagging or brushing
during installation. This significantly
simplifies cleaning. Avoid harsh cleaning
methods after the walls have been erected
as this may mar the surface of the units.
