Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate square footage for stone veneer?
Measure the height and width of each wall section in feet, then multiply to get square footage. Subtract the area of windows and doors. Add 10-15% extra for cuts, corners, and waste.
How much stone veneer do I need for corners?
Corner pieces are sold by linear foot, not square foot. Measure the total linear feet of outside corners. Most manufacturers recommend ordering corner pieces separately from flat pieces.
What's the coverage rate for stone veneer adhesive?
Veneer adhesive typically covers 30-50 square feet per gallon, depending on the application method and stone texture. Always check manufacturer specifications for your specific product.
Can stone veneer be installed on any surface?
Stone veneer can be installed on concrete, cement board, brick, or properly prepared drywall with metal lath. The substrate must be structurally sound and able to support the weight of the veneer (typically 8-15 lbs per square foot).
How much does stone veneer weigh per square foot?
Manufactured stone veneer typically weighs 8-12 lbs per square foot. Natural thin stone veneer weighs 12-25 lbs per square foot. Full-thickness natural stone can weigh 25-40+ lbs per square foot.
