How to Install Stone Siding? | |
Stone is the most durable building material, so why not use it as a siding on your house! Besides being durable, it looks very attractive – your house will look like a castle! You can use brick siding or stone veneer siding.
Stone veneer siding is the most popular type of stone siding. Installing it is relatively easy. You can install stone siding on only one wall as a decorative accent or on all the walls, the choice is yours!
The things to take into account in installing stone siding are as follows:
- humidity and water – weep holes must be inserted in the walls so the water could escape and avoid crumbling and damaging of the siding;
- bricks or stones are attached to the wall with brick ties, or also with mortar when using larger natural stones;
- granite, limestone, slate are the most commonly used stone types in stone siding.
- Also, the less expensive and one of the popular choices today is using simulated stone siding or faux stone siding as it is sometimes called – it is light in weight and can be installed easily by using simple tools. They come in various types and colours.
