Whether you’re building a new house, or remodeling your current home, choosing stone veneer as an exterior building material is a smart decision. Stone adds character, curb appeal, and charm to virtually any architectural style – classic to contemporary, and everything in between.
Today’s manufactured stone veneers are available in so many styles and colors, there are endless options when trying to find just the right stone for your one-of-a-kind dream home. Plus leading producers, like Casa di Sassi, use the most up-to-date manufacturing techniques to create stone products that look just as authentic as real stone sourced from a quarry.
Unlike genuine stone that’s heavy and sometimes difficult to work with, manufactured stone veneers are lightweight and easy to install, making them a more sensible choice for residential exteriors with challenging facades or strict building codes.
So how do you choose the best stone for your home's exterior? When shopping for stone veneer siding, simply use the following tips as a helpful guide. Your stone dream home should start taking shape once you consider these important design aspects.
Maintenance
No matter the color, shape or style of manufactured stone you choose, maintenance for this material is remarkably easy. If a section of your stone exterior appears dirty after a dust storm, or long, harsh winter, simply spray it with water to clean it off. You never have to power wash manufactured stone (it’s not recommended) and harsh cleaning compounds aren’t required, or recommended, either.
Affordability
When comparing genuine stone to manufactured stone, man-made wins again in terms of affordability. Genuine stone’s quarrying process, transport logistics, and installation fees are three reasons behind its expensive cost. Manufactured stone costs less to produce and transport, so it’s naturally more affordable when it’s time to buy and install.
