Tips and Tricks

  • How do I measure the area to be covered in order to purchase the right amount of stone veneer?
  • When you cut the pieces, what color are the ends? Do you have to paint them to make it look like actual rock?
  • How do you miter it so that the rough edge is maintained on the end?
  • Is there a specialized trim plate for installing onto metal buildings?
  • How far above the grass or flower bed do I need to place my first panel?
  • How do I handle the end of a wall?
  • Can your faux stone panels be installed with bottom edge slightly below grade in contact with soil?
  • What do you do with the raw edge of the panels? Does that need to be painted?
  • How do you terminate the ledger at a window or door?
  • How do I handle an inside corner?
  • How do you make the ledger work around a post or column?
  • Would some kind of house wrap or moisture barrier be needed between the cedar siding and the panels?
  • Can the panels be installed directly on top of the cedar siding? If so, would they be glued or nailed, or both?
