Stone Siding & Veneer offer many design possibilities.
Stone siding and veneers come in a wide range of colors and style, even brick! One of our favorites and most frequently installed is Versetta Stone. Good quality stone veneers and siding are made of a composite of real stone, so they offer many of the same benefits. Many stone siding products are made with recycled materials, so they’re often earth friendy.
Here are 6 fun ideas to get your designer juices flowing!
1. Lower Exterior of the Home
Installing stone siding on the lower portion of a home’s exterior is the most popular usage we encounter, and rightfully so. It looks great! There are other benefits to installing stone siding in this area. Stone siding is often more durable against impacts, and it is highly moisture resistant. Most stone veneers & siding options can withstand a weed wacker and other likely encounters better than vinyl siding. Many homeowners choose to install stone veneer solely on the front of the home, but we recommend going all the way around for the ultimate appearance & durability boost! A lower wall installation also looks amazing if you install it inside recessed porch!
2. Chimney
There are so many gorgeous design possibilities for stone siding in this area: retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, patio enclosures…

5. Interiors
Play around with stone veneers and siding indoors! They look terrific on fireplaces, bars, and room dividers. Some stone veneers, like Versetta Stone, are mechanically fastened and don’t require any mortar. This type of stone siding is perfect for indoors, because there’s less risk of installation mess!
