Stone veneer can be a beautiful, long-lasting and stylish
addition to any home or business interior or exterior. By providing texture,
atmosphere, and refinement to any room or exterior structure, manufactured
stone veneers are a high-quality cladding for fireplace surrounds, interior
walls, exterior columns and wainscoting, and other elements.
Homeowners add curb appeal and value to their homes by
installing stone veneer siding. Businesses intensify their presence and improve
customer perception by upgrading exterior elements of their building with top
quality stone veneer cladding.

Application of Stone Veneers and Preventing Water
Intrusion
Accumulated moisture can be a threat to the life of any
stone installation.However, when properly applied, stone veneer products are
effective in preventing water intrusion. The stone itself does not absorb
moisture, but the installation must include measures to prevent water from
accumulating behind the exterior veneer. This usually involves three areas of
attention. They are:
- Prevent
moisture from entering at seams where the veneer meets doors, windows,
gates, etc. Special attention to eliminating gaps should be applied to
these locations.
- Extra
flashing is important at joints, corners, and bends.
- Create
weep holes for accumulated moisture, if present, to escape
Quality stone veneers are rugged and longlasting of
properly applied.
Stone veneer applications can alter the ambiance of an
interior space or dramatically highlight the positive features of an exterior.
Choosing the right stone veneer for your intended feature depends on the mood
you are attempting to project. Will your fireplace surround deliver the
comforting lodge-like feel you envision? Will the new stone veneer in the
bathroom create the spa-like elegance of your dreams. Will the new exterior
wall project rustic informality or sophisticated grace?
