Best Stone Veneer Options for Winter Upgrades

Winter is not the most common season for home reno projects – particularly outdoor projects like cladding your home in stone siding veneer. Veneer and other masonry products tend to encounter issues when they’re installed in temps below 40℉, or if the thermometer dips below that temp during the seven-day curing period after installation. It’s one of those tips and tricks professional installers all know but may not think to mention.

Rushing a project despite unfavorable weather conditions is among the common stone veneer installation mistakes we see happen far too often. But the good news is that interior stone veneer projects can move forward any time of year!

Let’s take a look at ways you can use the colder months to prepare for an exterior stone veneer installation that’s scheduled for later in the year, as well as a few creative ideas for indoor projects you can get started on right away. After all, there’s no time like the present to level up the coziness and natural beauty of your living space!

How to Use the Winter Months for Stone Veneer Installation Prep

One of our favorite ways to make long winters go by more quickly is to plan for fun spring or summer projects. You already know that you should buy stone veneer in advance to avoid shipping delays and other timeline hassles – and you might just find a great deal in an off-season sale! Other tasks you can tackle in the warm glow of your laptop and a hot bevvy include:

• Get inspired by interior design trends on Instagram, Architectural Digest, Apartment Therapy or Arhaus
• Double (and triple) check the measurements for your project
• Explore stone veneer accessories that could elevate your project
• Reach out to the installer you’ll be working with to discuss your discoveries, verify all the measurements and details, and make sure your project is on their calendar

Stone Veneer Interior Projects: Seasonless Scheduling

If you just can’t wait for warmer weather to start upgrading your home, you’re in luck! The stone-cold pros at Casa di Sassi have lots of unique and creative stone veneer ideas for your home’s indoor spaces. These are projects you can initiate at any time of year because they’re not exposed to those frigid temps and pesky precipitation.

Fire Up Your Fireplace

Nothing makes a home feel more cozy and welcoming than a fireplace. But if the masonry or facade around yours is shabby or outdated, it can make the entire room seem off. Luckily, we’ve got lots of manufactured stone veneer options for keeping your fireplace modern and stylish. If you’re going for a contemporary monochrome effect, consider our Brick and Volterra profiles in Niveo hue for a clean, crisp background that lets your furnishings shine. Earthy neutrals are trending this year, and you’ll get them in our barnstone profile with the added benefit of natural-looking texture. If you want more of an eye-catching statement, go for our more rugged profiles, like Country Rubble and Fieldstone – then let them climb all the way to the rafters!

Beautify Your Bathrooms 

Transform your guest or master bath into an at-home spa with luxurious stone veneer installations in the bathroom! Bringing the natural beauty of stone into these spaces helps create a sense of calm and rejuvenation, no matter what color scheme you decide on. Whether it’s a vanity backsplash or an expansive accent wall around your free-standing soaker tub, you’ll get the soothing benefits of feeling like you’re in the great outdoors while relaxing and refreshing your senses.

Kick Your Kitchen Into High Gear

Need a kitchen refresh but looking for something outside the typical subway tile box? Look no further than Casa di Sassi stone veneer for kitchen backsplash ideas that fit your budget, stand up to everyday use, and elevate a modern look. Warm up a neutral color scheme with the sumptuous texture and understated hues of our EZ Ledge profile in soft Cremona color. Create a pleasing contrast with your trendy colored cabinets by pairing them with Yorkshire in a cool shade of Sombre. Give your backsplash a big, splashy statement by extending it all the way from the counters to the ceiling, behind the stove, between cupboards, or around windows.

Add Luxury to the Lower Level

Make your basement more than a storage area with a stone veneer interior upgrade! The luxurious look and tactile texture of manufactured stone veneer add a welcoming vibe to lower-level spaces like nothing else. If yours is typically chilly, a wall-mounted electric fireplace surrounded by stone veneer can warm it up considerably. Add a comfy sofa, a couple of overstuffed chairs, and some soft lighting for a comfy den effect. And if you’re searching for man-cave decor ideas, a basement stone veneer installation on a wet bar makes a perfectly masculine backdrop for vintage-inspired neon signage and beers with the boys.

Take Texture to New Heights

No matter what room of your home you’d like to spruce up this winter, textured accent walls are the way to go. From the foyer to the den to the home office, a touch of natural texture elevates any space. Plus, both texture and accent walls top the trend lists right now, so you’re getting double the delight with Casa di Sassi! One of the major benefits of using stone veneer in your home is its incredibly lightweight design. Weighing in at a fraction of the heft that natural stone or kilned bricks bring, our manufactured stone veneer options allow the most eye-catching, breathtaking accent walls that soar all the way to your cathedral ceilings. So go crazy with your bigger-than-basic design dreams!
