The Differences Between Stone Veneer and Natural Stone
The Differences Between Stone Veneer and Natural Stone
Stone adds depth and drama to any build, whether it’s a new construction or renovation. It’s a versatile product that can be used to create a number of aesthetics, from traditional elegance to modern industrial appeal. Stone is also a highly durable material, withstanding the elements and offering low maintenance and energy costs in the long run.
The popularity of natural and manufactured stone products has given rise to a new term: “stone veneer.” Veneer is actually a slender layer of real, or faux, stone that covers the face of another material, often wood or concrete. While it doesn’t require the same level of skill to install as full-size, cut stone, veneer requires a competent mason to ensure the proper stone veneer installation.
Manufactured and natural thin stone veneers offer similar design opportunities, but they differ in their application, durability and overall cost-effectiveness. Understanding the differences between the two products can help homeowners and builders make the right choice for their project.
What is Thin Stone Veneer?
What is Thin Stone Veneer?
Thin stone veneer is a pre-shaped and curated mix of real stones, reducing the need for onsite shaping and allowing masons to achieve professional results with less effort. It’s also much lighter than full-size cut stone, making it easier to transport and handle. As a result, it can be more cost-effective than full stone for many applications.
Like full stone, veneer is durable and can enhance the beauty of any structure or landscape. Its versatility makes it a popular building material for walls, patios and even fireplaces. It is a perfect choice for those who want the beauty of real stone without the high cost or labor requirements.
Unlike full-size cut stone, veneer doesn’t require the same degree of skill to work with, and is more forgiving when it comes to bending and movement. However, it must be properly sealed and maintained to protect against water absorption, staining and weathering.
Both natural and veneer stone require periodic cleaning to remove stains and debris. If you have questions about maintenance, contact your supplier for suggestions and best practices. For exterior surfaces, regular washing with a hose or sponge will suffice, although more frequent cleaning is recommended for porous stones and those that are subject to erosion.
