Stone Veneer Installation

Stone veneer gives you the look of a stone wall in a thinner, lighter form that bonds to a prepared wall. It is a good way to dress a fireplace, a column base, a kitchen island or a house front, and the details behind the stone decide how well it lasts.

Questions

About stone veneer installation

Is stone veneer real stone?

Natural stone veneer is real stone cut thin. Manufactured veneer is made of molded concrete. We explain both and show samples.

Can veneer go on any wall?

It needs a sound, properly prepared surface with a moisture barrier and lath. We check what is there first.

How do you keep water out behind veneer?

Flashing, a weather barrier and weep details at the base direct water out, and we do not skip them.
