9. AIR BARRIER SEALANTS, RAIN PENETRATION AND MOISTURE CONTROL STONE VENEER/PANELS ARE STRONG AND DURABLE BUT THEIR WEAK POINT ARE THE JOINTS – IT NEEDS TO BE SEALED SO THAT WHEN WATER WONT SIP THROUGH OR THE WATER CANNOT DAMAGE IT Use appropriate sealant for the environment in which it is expected to perform. Consider the environment that it will perform. Failure to consider these factors may result in adhesive failure, cohesive failure, craze cracking, hardening, disintegration, color changes, or other types of permanent failure. Each project requires its own careful sealant consideration and application. Work cited - http://stonepanels.com
