Stone Veneer Panels: Exterior Cladding for Interior Applications
In a world of cookie-cutter homes, stone veneer panels provide an easy way to add unique detail to your home’s exterior. They’re also great for creating accent walls, wainscoting, and other design features inside your home.
What are stone veneer panels?
Stone veneer is a thin layer of natural stone applied to a substrate, such as plywood or drywall. Stone veneer panels come in diverse styles and colors, making it easy to find the perfect look for your home.
There are two main types of stone veneer: natural stone and manufactured stone. Natural stone veneer is made from real stone that is quarried and cut into thin slices. Manufactured stone veneer is made from concrete molded to look like real stone.
Why choose stone veneer panels for exterior and interior applications?
Stone veneer panels offer numerous benefits over natural stone and other cladding materials. They are lighter weight and easier to install, making them a great option for do-it-yourselfers. Stone veneer panels are also more durable and weather-resistant than natural stone, and they require less maintenance.
How to install stone veneer panels
Installing stone veneer panels is a relatively simple process. First, the area where the panels will be installed must be prepared. This involves removing any existing siding, trim, or other materials. The surface should then be cleaned and primed.
Next, the stone veneer panels are cut to size and installed using construction adhesive or mortar. Joints between the panels are then, filled with grout or caulking.
Once the panels are in place, they can be sealed with a clear sealer to protect them from the elements.
If you are looking for an aesthetically-pleasing, unique and easy-to-install home panel, then stone veneer panels should be on top of your list.
