Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Veneer stone, either natural or manufactured, offers aesthetic appeal for indoor and outdoor applications. These FAQs address common concerns regarding its appearance, durability, installation and maintenance.

How Long Does Manufactured Veneer Stone Last Compared to Real Stone?

Natural stone has a longer lifespan compared to manufactured veneer stone. While manufactured stone is designed to be durable, it may fail to match the longevity and resilience of natural stone. However, proper installation and regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of manufactured stone. 

Can Veneer Stone Be Installed Over Drywall or Existing Surfaces Without Reinforcement?

No, veneer stone generally cannot be installed directly over drywall or most existing surfaces without proper reinforcement or substrate. Drywall lacks the structural strength and moisture resistance necessary to support the weight of veneer stone or bonding property, whether natural or manufactured. You’ll need substrates like metal lath and a masonry scratch coat to install veneer stone over existing surfaces. 

Does Veneer Stone Require Sealing or Special Maintenance?

Veneer stone does not necessarily require sealing, though it can benefit from it and regular maintenance. For manufactured veneer stone, applying a breathable sealant periodically can provide added protection against water infiltration and moisture. While natural stone is highly durable and requires minimal upkeep, regular cleaning and sealing can protect it from staining and weathering.

How Do Eldorado Stone and StoneCraft Products Differ in Appearance and Durability?

Eldorado Stone offers highly realistic handcrafted detailing, while StoneCraft has slightly simplified textures and colors. Since both premium veneer brands are manufactured by the same parent company, Westlake Royal Building Products, they are both durable, and Eldorado Stone is backed by a 50-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

What’s the Moisture Risk With Veneer Stone Installation and How Is It Prevented?

The main moisture risk with veneer stone installation is that water can seep behind it and become trapped against the wall. It can lead to issues like adhesion loss, efflorescence and material deterioration.

To prevent moisture risk in stone veneer installations, you can create a continuous, redundant drainage system. It involves installing a water-resistant barrier, using proper flashing, maintaining base clearances and establishing an air gap.
