[0001] The present invention relates to an artificial stone and its anchoring system and method of fabricating a stone surface area therewith. BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Artificial stones and bricks have been known for several years and there exist a few systems for the securement thereof. One well known system uses an artificial stone commonly known as a “cultured stone” and it is affixed to a wall surface by a mortar cement which is trowelled on a specially prepared surface. In order for the cement to adhere to vertical surfaces it is necessary that a waterproof construction paper and a metal mesh be attached to the surface whereby to hold the cement in place. It is important also that the consistency of the cement be sufficiently tacky, that is to say not liquidly, in order for the stone to be retained thereby. These stones are fabricated with a substantially flat rear surface and by placing the stone on the cement and applying pressure against the stone a suction is c...
