Cultured Stone® veneer is
created by master craftsmen who select the best textures, sizes and shapes from the finest
natural stones. Cultured Stone® products are cast in molds made from these
stones and finished in a process that replicates existing colors and textures with
meticulous detail. Each color and texture has its own blend of ingredients:
Portland cement, lightweight aggregates and iron oxide
pigments. Even on close examination, these manufactured stones look and feel like the
originals.
Cultured Stone® veneer is sized and
shaped for quick, easy installation and is so light in weight that it needs no additional
foundation or support. Average thickness is 1-3/4". Durable and colorfast indoors or
out, it's covered by a 30-year limited warranty and is available nationwide through more
than 850 dealers.

Installation
Instructions Be sure to get Cultured Stone®
full detailed installation instructions from your dealer or from Cultured Stone
Corporation before beginning a project.
Cultured Stone® veneer can be used on any
structurally sound wall surface, including those where full-thickness natural stone won't
work, either structurally or economically. Its light weight and quick adhesion allow for
fast, easy footings or wall ties.
Each piece of Cultured Stone® veneer is applied
individually with Type N mortar and attaches permanently to the wall surface. |
| Masonry or concrete: 
In sequence: (1) mortar applied directly to untreated,
unpainted masonry, concrete or stucco, (2) Cultured Stone® veneer, (3) mortar joint. |
 Hearthstones
For each wallstone, there's a matching or complementary
hearthstone. Nine colors of rectangular hearthstones (19"x20" with a 1-3/4"
average thickness) provide a tailored look, while Water Wash Pavers in Stream Stone colors
(1-3/4" thick) offer a more rugged, less formal hearth option. |
