Preparing for an installation – Part 1

Visualize your stone project- Step 1

Using Stone Selex stone veneer can really bring a space together in style and harmony. The number of projects and uses of stone veneer is endless, the limit really is only one’s imagination. However, no matter what type of project, big or small, it all starts with a concept sketch. Sketching out and planning your project is important because it will help you visualize the end result and act like a guide tool to the project at hand. Here are some tips on how to prepare for an installation.
The idea: Every great project begins with a great idea. When planning out your home decor project in the conceptual realm it will help to consult interior design magazines, home decor blogs and especially our Stone Selex website. On our page you’ll be able see all the stone patterns we carry which will greatly aid in the visualization of the project. Remember to be realistic and take measurements into account.

Visualize your project

The sketch: Here is where the idea actualizes into something visual. The best way to create a sketch is through interior design software. Of course not everyone has access to professional home design applications so here’s the next best thing. Print out a picture of your home project and then simply pencil in the specifications of what is to be created directly over the printed photo. Add measurements and draw everything to scale. This is a really important step in the installation process because it will help contractors and experienced interiors designers with understanding your projected vision.
The experts: Now for some more decision making. At this point you can either begin with the installation process by going here. Or you can opt to have one of our veteran stone masons do the installation for you. Either way it’s important to have the sketch finalized at this point so that it can be used as a reference point for either you or one of our stone mason installers.
