The Power of Stone Veneer Mortar

Stone veneer can be used as a decorative or durable covering for interior or exterior walls and surfaces. It is a fairly common building material Pros use to create accent pieces such as vibrant fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, interior accent walls, exterior siding and columns, and much more.

Stone veneer is available in natural stone and manufactured, or artificial, stone options. No matter the style, they are both offered in a wide variety of colors, textures and shapes for multiple project uses. When it comes to the application procedures, the difference between natural and manufactured stone veneer is nearly indistinguishable.

Aside from its aesthetic beauty and abundant design possibilities, stone veneer is also an extremely durable building material that is virtually maintenance-free.
