Why the Sawn-Back is the Most Critical Feature of Thin Stone Veneer
This technical briefing examines the mechanical bond advantages of precision sawn-back thin stone veneer over traditional natural-back products. By analyzing Developed Surface Area (Sdr) and mortar consolidation, the guide explains how a calibrated 25-40mm flat profile eliminates air pockets, reduces mortar consumption by 30%, and prevents freeze-thaw delamination. It serves as a strategic framework for commercial contractors and wholesalers to optimize installation speed while ensuring long-term structural integrity for 2026 high-load architectural facades.
