How Long Does It Take To Have Stone Veneer Walls Installed?

Stone veneer can be applied to many surfaces such as retaining walls, outdoor fireplaces, indoor fireplaces, and pillars. The masons create the stone veneers from real natural stone. This means that they are resistant to chipping, warping, fading, and cracking. However, if the veneers do eventually become chipped, it will be difficult to notice because of the texture of the stone and the color of the stone permeate throughout the entire material. Most homeowners do ask a series of questions before having stone veneer walls professionally installed including, “how long does it take?”

These products are available in many different colors and styles. They are quarried in several locations such as Arizona and Michigan. Thin stone veneer walls are flexible, durable and can match almost any style, color, and décor. As a result, thin stone veneer walls are considered the most ideal stone application.

As a homeowner, you may want to consider asking questions such as, “how long does it take to have stone veneer walls installed” when you are looking to add a natural stone veneer application to your indoor or outdoor living areas.

If I Have A Drywall Fireplace, Can I Have Natural Stone Installed?

The answer to this question is yes. The installers remove the tile or other materials surrounding the fireplace first. Installers add wire mesh to the studs and apply a coat of mortar. If you want a mantel, installers will place it before the stone veneers. The installers examine every piece before they add it to the wall. The entire time for project completion is typically 1 to 2 days.

Are There Weight Issues With Stone Veneer?

There are no weight issues. Thin stone veneer panels do not usually weigh more than ten pounds per square foot. This weight is almost 25% less than the weight of the real stone. In fact, it is the wire mesh that has the most weight.

A fireplace up to 70 square feet can be outfitted with veneers in one day. A larger fireplace will require more time for installation. You want to make sure that the installer does not rush to complete the project, and ensures your home is properly prepared for the installation process.

So, if you are wondering how long it takes to have interior stone veneer installed, installers can complete the average project within a few days. These panels offer an economical way to showcase real stone in your home. In addition, the natural stone veneer requires zero maintenance.
