How Does an Adhered Masonry Veneer Work and Is It Durable?

Adhered masonry veneer is incredibly lightweight but offers the look and feel of real stone. It can be used on walls to create the look of cement, brick, or any other type of stone surface. Homeowners who are trying to restore an outdoor area may apply a few sections of adhered stone veneer to help cover and protect the problem area. Once the resources are available the homeowner can complete a full renovation or restoration. Homeowners can also use veneers to create a new look or update an area’s decor.

Adhered Masonry Veneer

Adhered masonry veneers provide the look and feel of various types of stone or brick surfaces. The manufacturing process is a wet casting that blends stone, aggregate and other cement-like materials. Pigments may be added, as well as other types of material that give the appearance of stone or natural rock.

The adhered veneer is suitable for almost any wall surface. They can be cut to any size or shape. In addition they will adhere easily with the right tools and techniques. Veneers are extremely durable and will remain in place without the need for repair or maintenance of any kind. If you are looking to renovate a small area, veneers are extremely affordable and will look beautiful once in place.

Adhered Masonry Veneer Installation

Installation of adhered masonry veneer takes just a few hours. First thoroughly clean and prepare the surface.  Next cut the veneer and shape it according to the size of the area you are covering.  The type of stone or aggregate of the veneer determines the kind of tool or saw you need to cut it down to the size necessary to install.

After shaping the piece, the veneer goes into place with cement or glue. Once the veneer has had time to set, it’s time for minor trimming. After everything is dry and the area is clean, you can sit back and enjoy the new look of your patio or deck.
