just in case anyone else has trouble finding the adhesive - it's called "sikabond construction adhesive".
Great video. I have a very small fireplace (not a real fireplace) and was hoping to find a way to use the drywall instead of replacing it with cement board. Thank you
NICE 🙋👍
Thanks ✌
Can I use this over brick on fireplace with a wood burning insert? Would the glue get soft from the heat or should thinset mortar be used

Fabulous job well done
The product looks great. I would like to do a wall that is 8' X 8' and drywall. What would you recommend I cover the drywall with before gluing on the stone?
great video.. thanks... i have similar stone to install over a wall which is 18' high... some professionals are say it is ok to install them over drywall and some are saying i have to install wire/mesh/backer board over drywall. cost difference is alot between them. What do you guys suggest to your customers??
Definitely add cement board on for little extra money your stone be secure for ever
Hey nice video I buy premium mortar for stone to place the rock on the wall can I use that ?
Dont need to draw a level line to start? We can just start of the floor all the way up?
if your floor is level
@@GreenmarkBuilders thank you
What saw is that?
Unfortunately they don't seem to make this style of saw any more. Last year I started using this saw from Home Depot. I don't like it quite as much but it's a great saw for the value. www.homedepot.ca/product/ridgid-9-amp-7-inch-portable-wet-tile-saw-with-stand/1000744927
Very nice job! Which stone did you get? The color?
Why didn’t you show how you went over the top of the fireplace opening?
My apologies. I made cuts with a wet saw and glued them in place just like the sides.
thx! just normal drywall behind the stone?
Hi Jeff,
We use regular drywall behind our stone on small applications like this. We suggest cement board or plywood depending on the application when we are doing full walls. All the best with your project!
What would you recommend to use for cinderblock?
we would use thinset with additive for exterior applications, talk to someone at your local hardware store to see what they recommend for your area. Best of luck!
Just a pity they don’t do wrap-around corners. They make for a better finish.
I just looked at their website, and it appears that for some products they do make wrap around corners that you can purchase. You should check it out. Hope this helps.
Make the corners yourself.Like a craftsman.
you also get someone else to do the actual work for you?
We work with our client's designing their homes, then we take the designs to a draftsman and have the plans finalized.
What was the adhesive you used?
I'm inspired to do this now..Where do I buy this Realstone systems in the US?
You can check out www.realstonesystems.com and click the top menu item 'WHERE TO BUY'
Cheers,
Mark
Can I put cement board on top of drywall.?
absolutely. I usually glue and screw cement board on drywall for added strength in that application.
Would that adhesive be recommended for 5x 9 ft cement board fireplace framing or thinset is a better choice?
I always perfer using glue in a container because I'm not the fastest installer in the world. I've used thinset in the past (works great) for larger applications where there is not much cutting.
Greenmark Builders I have two concerns...first : what about if my fireplace it's made of bricks ....what kind of adhesive I suppose to use? The glue that you are using, thinset or other type of material. Second: my mother has fireplace made of bricks and also it's painted....what she suppose to do?...thanks in advance.

What type of glue are you using you say it but I could not hear you.
I guess sika bond pro construction adhesive. SikaBond® Construction Adhesive
Can I install the neutral stone on sheetrock?
I don't recommend it if you a re doing a full wall or full fireplace. You can add a wire mesh and do a skim coat over it for added strength.
Why don’t you recommend Sheetrock? Does it break down easily?
Am sorry but the old man was faster than you 😂😂😂
Rocket science 😂
