Just before my parents bought it the bank had the whole house covered in this siding.

Diy real stone siding.

Angle grinder fitted with masonry blades. Number the backs of the stones to keep the order straight. These molds are individually airbrushed in different colors to give them natural variation. Artificial stone used to look pretty bogus but the new generation of thin faux stone is nearly impossible to distinguish from real stone.

This is my parents house. You can install veneer directly over a brick or stucco wall but if the wall is finished with vinyl aluminum or wood shingle siding. The advantage of this is that you get something with a lot of natural beauty and fantastic durability. The veneers look like real stone but they re made by pouring a mixture of cement into stone shaped molds.

The negative aspect is that this type of siding weighs an absolute ton. A big house that s gorgeous on the inside but is seriously lacking on the outside. Nothing is wrong with the siding but it needs some color some stone maybe some cedar. Do this by applying roofing felt or house wrap over the surface with standard nails.

This diy stone veneer on house exterior is a project that my dad and i did that we are both very proud of. Add the beautiful look of stone to your home inside or out with easy to install stone veneer siding from menards. New faux stone is composed of conventional cement with soft lightweight pumice like fillers making it easy to cut with a circular saw or a 4 1 2 in.
