레저 스톤에 관한 모든 것

For adding warmth and character to both inside and outside your home, there's nothing like stacked ledger stone. The look is natural and charming, but many people seem unclear about what exactly it is. Is it real stone, or something else? Let's get into all the details about ledger stone!

What is Ledger Stone?

원장석 looks like real stone and sometimes it is made from pieces of natural stone. Today, ledger stone is usually made from a mixture of concrete, stone and iron-oxide pigments blended together in molds that are produced from the contours of real stones. And by vibrating those molds during the manufacturing process, the final product is infused with color that runs throughout.

Ledger stone also goes by different names like stone veneers, stone ledger panels and stacked stone.

How to Clean and Care for Ledger Stone

Once installed, ledger stone is easy to care for because it's used on vertical surfaces. Nobody eats on it or walks on it so, it gets a lot less wear and tear. The ledges that extend out can hold the same dust as an average windowsill. A handheld vacuum or a duster that traps the dust instead of spreading it around would be best to use.

When cleaning ledger stone more thoroughly, just make sure to avoid cleaning products with bleach or acid because these can damage your stone. A neutral stone cleaner with a pH of seven or eight should be fine. Just spray, wipe with a cloth or towel and give it about two hours to dry. You don't have to do this one a week; just as needed, especially if it's around the fireplace or in the kitchen.

In order to maintain the stone's luster, it's recommended that you seal it yourself or get it sealed professionally every year or so. But, before sealing, make sure you get rid of any access dirt or debris by giving the stone a quick brushing. Next, scrub the stone with a mixture of warm water and natural stone cleaner. Rinse, wipe away excess water, allow the surface to air dry for a minimum of two hours before applying the sealant.

So, we think it's safe to say that no matter where or how you use ledger stone, you can be confident that they will stand the test of time. The warmth and character of natural stone never goes out of style.
