LIGHTBOX INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
MACA translucent stone veneer is elegantly designed to be translucent,
artfully allowing light to filter through, creating a captivating ambience. To
achieve this effect, our product must be applied to a base layer of acrylic,
plexiglass, lexan sheet, or tempered glass.
Please note: We do not provide materials or installation services for the
lightbox.
Lightbox Setup
Install the LED lighting on the substrate or the base of the lightbox to provide illumination. (You can skip this step if you prefer to use natural light as the light source.)
LED Selection Guidelines:
- Standard LED emits focused, bright light, ideal for highlighting details but may cause glare.
- Diffuse LED Lighting provides a softer, uniform glow, perfect for gentle overall illumination on translucent stone veneer.
- A recommended approach for achieving a flexible and adjustable lighting effect is to use an adjustable LED.
Properly connect the LEDs to ensure their functionality with the power source.
Light Source Distance Recommendations:
The distance between the light source and the base layer is crucial for
optimal lighting effect.
- For Standard LED: Maintain a minimum 6″ distance.
- For Diffuse LED Lighting: At least 2″ based on light output.
Install the base layer on the lightbox.

Unboxing Preparation
Take the products out of the box and place them flat in a safe area. Some
flaking on the stone surface is normal during unboxing and installation. For
the best outcome, do a layout test before installing. This test helps figure
out where each stone sheet fits best, so you can make any needed adjustments.
*If the products are coming rolled up, placing them under direct sunlight for
a few hours before unrolling will expedite the flattening process.
(Alternatively, a heat gun may be needed.)
Measurement and Marking
Measure the desired size on the veneers and mark where you need to make cuts.
Cutting with Precision
Use a circular saw or track saw to cut the sheets to your desired dimensions.
Surface Preparation
Ensure the base layer where you intend to apply MACA translucent stone veneers
is clean. Remove dust and ensure there are no significant bumps on the
surface.
Adhesive Application
Apply clear construction adhesive to the back ofthe veneers or the base
layer’s surfaces. For a uniform bond, applying the adhesive using the back
buttering technique is advised.
Enhancing Adhesion
Use a pressure roller to enhance the adhesion of the translucent stone
veneersto the base layer.
Curing Time
Allow it to cure for up to 24 hours; it may take longer, depending on the
adhesive used and the temperature of the installation environment.
Installation Complete
Installation of translucent stone veneers is finished, offering your space a
natural, luminous effect. Enjoy the interplay of light and natural stone in
your environment!
