Is the Process of Laying Stone Veneer Hard?

Professional contractors generally go through several steps when they are laying stone veneer. Fortunately, installers can complete these steps and the entire project within a day or two.

Producers make natural stone veneer from real stone. It has become increasingly popular in the United States over the past few years. Because installers have a more difficult time working with natural stone, they are choosing to work with and install stone veneer.

You can use stone veneer to make the interior and/or exterior living spaces of your home more visually appealing. This is a simple and low maintenance way to update your home or any other structure. And it does not require a lot of tools. Producers make almost all types of stone veneer from the same types of materials. In addition, laying stone veneer is the same in almost all applications.

These products do not require a lot of footing for the stone to be supported. In fact, the only requirement for installing stone veneer is that before installation, installers must create a masonry substrate for the stone to adhere to. Installers learn how to install stone veneer panels over concrete.

Laying Stone Veneer:  Thin Stone Veneer

One of the reasons why the process to lay stone veneer does not take long is because the veneer is a variation from natural stone. Thin stone veneer easily surpasses stone that is manufactured. It also delivers a stunning finish. The product is colorfast, and this means that it will not fade or lose luster after a period of time. Stone veneers are also strong and resistant to aesthetic issues such as scratching or chipping.

Colors and Styles

Property owners also have a wide range of colors and styles to select from when choosing stone veneer installation. Some of these styles are:

• Limestone
• Fieldstone
• River Rock
• Stacked Stone
• Sandstone
• Quartz based stones

There are also different shapes to choose from. Irregular, square, and rectangular are some of the most commonly chosen shapes for stone veneer. Some property owners even choose to mix and match different products together to create a visually appealing and distinctive structure that is less expensive than other types of masonry options. Installing stone veneer over concrete is an easier and faster process than a more traditional masonry project that utilizes full veneer. This is one of the reasons why contractors enjoy the types of opportunities this material offers.
