Nathan Giffin of Vertical Artisans has teamed up with WaltTools to bring to the marketplace a tool impression system that allows anybody to delve into the world of vertical concrete with confidence.
The Stone Matrix is a six-piece template pattern system that’s completely interchangeable with its partner pieces — top and bottom and end to end — which creates a different group of stones each time a tool edge meets a different edge. Unlike traditional pattern stamps that provide a very limited pattern offering, the Stone Matrix combinations are in the thousands.
The new system imparts very little surface texture, instead relying on installers to create their own textures by way of skins, rollers and texture trowels. Each Stone Matrix piece is 8-feet long and 16-inches tall, allowing installers to make an impression quickly so they can complete a stone pattern on large walls in minutes instead of hours.
“The notion of stamping the outlining pattern of the design not only saves time for the artist but also reduces the clean out of the pattern by 99 percent,” says Giffin, noting the design and clean out account for the bulk of the time spent on a wall. “The time saved can then be used in more productive areas of the project and also in tweaking the artwork itself.”
