Don't worry - you don't have to be a DIY pro. Just follow these 5 steps:

Step 1: Choose your dream panel

stonearts® doesn't make it easy for you - but in a positive sense! The selection is impressive:

  • Brush: Cream-colored sandstone. Warm and inviting.
  • Yami: Dark slate. For a dramatic touch.
  • Gaia: Red slate stone. Fiery and lively.
  • Whisper: White sandstone. Airy and light.
  • Ligia: Silver-grey mica slate. Elegant and timeless.
  • Yuki: White crystal marble. For luxurious rooms.

Step 2: Plan like a pro

Now it's getting concrete. Where should the panels go? Complete wall or just an accent? Whether living room, bedroom or office - Akurock fits everywhere. Yuki is particularly suitable for elegant bedrooms, while Ligia shines in modern office spaces.

Step 3: Measure, but measure correctly!

Now it's getting mathematical - but don't worry, it's easy:

  1. Measure your wall.
  2. The Akurock panels are 240 cm long and 60 cm wide. This applies to all variants - from Brush to Yuki.
  3. Calculate the required number.
  4. Bonus: Allow 10% extra for offcuts.

Clever: Use the online visualizer from stonearts®. You can immediately see how many panels you need and how it will look - regardless of whether you opt for the dark elegance of Yami or the light freshness of Whisper.

Step 4: Prepare the wall (yes, really!)

Good news: Perfect walls are overrated! Akurock forgives small imperfections. Nevertheless:

  • Fill large cracks.
  • Remove loose paint.
  • Dust off? All right!

These steps apply to all Akurock variants, whether you are installing the robust texture of Ligia or the smooth surface of Yuki.

Step 5: Installation - the big moment!

Now it's getting exciting. But don't worry, it's easier than you think:

  1. Select the corner as the starting point. Work from there.
  2. Use special wall adhesive from stonearts®. Generously, but do not overdo it!
  3. Press on the panel. Hold briefly. Done!
  4. Next panel. And again. Until the wall is full.
  5. Cut to size if necessary. Caution: Sharp tools, hard stone!
