Abstract
A building facade material includes a plurality of elongate stone strips held in an abutting relationship on a flexible mesh when in a plane with the flexible mesh enabling the strips to be adhered to a curved surface, with a V-shaped area between strips suitable for grouting, between adjacent elongate stone strips. The elongate stone strips have a thickness which enables the strips to be ground to an arcuate contour without exposing the flexible mesh. A color-matching settable material is provided for grouting the V-shaped areas between the elongate strips. The method for applying a stone facade includes the steps of adhering a plurality of abutting elongate strips of stone attached to a flexible backing over a curved surface, grouting the groutable spaces with a settable material and thereafter grinding the entire composite into a smooth, arcuate, non-seamed, solid-stone appearing arcuate surface or column.
