Stone Veneer & Home Exteriors
Add natural texture to your home with stone selected for its appearance and the wall assembly behind it.
Explore stone for this project ↓Choose the look in context
Compare stone against the roof, siding, trim and nearby paving. Examine multiple pieces in natural light rather than relying on one swatch. Ask about the expected range of color, shape and texture.
Understand the system behind the surface
Full-bed stone and thin veneer have different support and installation requirements. Your qualified installer or designer should confirm the appropriate wall assembly, support, water management and details for the chosen product.
Plan the faces and the details
Measure each surface and identify corners, openings and transitions. Confirm which pieces are needed for returns and edges. Ask the supplier how flats and corners are packaged and sold, and have the installer confirm coverage and allowance.
