Match Your Home’s Style with the Right Veneer
Natural and manufactured stone veneer can look similar from across the yard, but the differences matter once you get up close. The right choice often comes down to the look you want, where the veneer will be installed, and how much weight the surface can support.
Consider these differences:
- Natural stone veneer offers natural color variation, texture, and one-of-a-kind character because no two pieces are exactly alike.
- Manufactured stone veneer resembles natural stone while offering more consistent color options. It also weighs less, which can make handling and installation more manageable.
- Exterior applications require considerations about exposure to sun, humidity, and rainfall, along with the style and maintenance needs of the project.
- For interior features such as fireplace surrounds, accent walls, and other vertical surfaces, manufactured veneer may be a practical choice because of its lighter weight.
Visit either showroom to compare manufactured and natural stone samples side by side and find an option that fits your project.
Reinforce Your Veneer Installation with Quality Lath
Veneer alone isn’t the whole story behind a wall that holds up over time. Lath gives the mortar something to grip, which helps keep your veneer installation secure as your home settles and the seasons change.
Your project determines the right type and amount of lath you need, since it depends on the surface you’re working with and the scope of the job. Our showroom team can help you select the lath for your project and supply the veneer and supporting materials you need in one place.
