Wall with natural stone/cladding

Has anyone already had experience with the claddings from Elastolith and their natural stone imitations from Stone Design? Should one preferably wallpaper first or stick directly onto the plaster? On Elastolith’s website it says:

It is strongly recommended to prime the substrate before gluing the claddings

Is that referring to a deep primer?

Hello Slevin,

for my clients I use the Inicio.
You can simply screw it on, the joints between the panels and the screws will be invisible due to filler.

Tile Backsplash

Hello Slevin,

You can simply screw it on, the transitions between the panels and the screws become invisible due to filler.

Hello 6Richtige,

are the panels also suitable as a tile backsplash in the kitchen area?

Rather not, due to the construction depth there are problems with the extractor hood, and it seems you also cannot remove grease splatters.

Alternative

Rather not, due to the installation depth there are problems with the extractor hood, and apparently you can't remove grease splatters either.

...a pity, it would have been a nice alternative to real stone or tiles. Is the texture of the surface of these panels comparable to real stone, or can you immediately tell that it is an "artificially" manufactured product?

I think the tiles look real, you’re welcome to come and look at samples with me
