Stone Veneer: Blue Beauty

Reviewed by:

Stone homes are beautiful, sturdy and enduring. And pricey. Enjoy the beauty of stone without breaking the budget. These stones are designed to be installed as a thin veneer siding for new or existing homes.

Installation requires a metal lath and mortar scratch coat. The 3" to 6" stones then are set into mortar.

Shown here is Bluestone Building Veneer, cut in a way that shows grain patterns.

Bluestone Building Veneer is 3" to 6" in height; 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" thick.

Price is $600 per ton, with discounts for larger purchases (September 2006).
