Abstract
The invention relates to synthetic coatings applied to substrates to simulate natural stone. The synthetic coatings are curable and saturated with a thin coating of fine particulate material. An implement is then used to tamp the coated surface to produce a natural stone appearance.
Claims28
A method for producing a simulated stone surface comprising,
- applying a curable synthetic resin composition to a substrate,
- applying a thin coating of fine particulate material to the surface of said composition to saturate the surface of the composition with the fine particulate material such that the surface is non-tacky,
- contacting said coated surface in a tamping action with an implement capable of carrying particles to ensure that said coated surface is completely covered with said fine particulate material so as to produce a surface simulating stone, and
- allowing the resin composition to cure.

A method for producing a simulated stone surface comprising,
- applying a curable synthetic resin composition to a substrate,
- applying a color pigment to the surface of said composition in a marble-like discontinuous manner,
- applying a thin coating of fine particulate material to the surface of said composition to saturate the surface of the composition with the fine particulate material such that the surface is non-tacky,
- contacting the surface in a tamping action with an implement capable of carrying particles to ensure that said coated surface is completely covered with said fine particulate material so as to produce a surface simulating stone, and
- allowing the resin composition to cure.

A simulated stone product comprising,
- a substrate having a surface,
- a curable synthetic resinous composition applied to said surface, and
- a thin layer of fine particulate material applied to saturate the surface of the composition and contacted in a tamping action with an implement capable of carrying particles to ensure that said coated surface is completely covered with said fine particulate material before said composition cures to produce a coated surface simulating stone.
