Thin Stone Veneer Supplier in Scotts Valley, CA

Natural thin stone veneer runs a nominal ¾ to 1½ inches and weighs less than 15 lbs per square foot. That weight is the whole point. Under the threshold, the existing wall carries it without a footing or a supporting ledge.

Natural thin stone veneer is real stone, quarried and sawn, so the texture and imperfections are the genuine article rather than a mold repeating itself. Manufactured lines are cast off real stone faces and read convincingly at normal viewing distance, with more color consistency piece to piece.

Usually, on three counts. Material costs less per square foot, freight costs less because one pallet covers about four times the area, and installation costs less with no footing to pour and less mass to set.

Natural for tonal variation, long-term weathering, and the character of a cut product. Manufactured for curved columns, radiused corners, exact color repeatability across build phases, and a lower price per square foot. Bring your elevation and we will tell you which way the job points.

Wood sheathing, concrete, concrete block, existing masonry, and metal framing. Wood and steel need a weather-resistive barrier and metal lath before the scratch coat. Clean, sound concrete and block can often take mortar directly.

Type N covers most exterior above-grade work. Type S gives higher tensile bond strength where the wall calls for it. Bring your application and we will spec it at the counter.

Corners are sold by the linear foot, separately from field stone, which is sold by the square foot. Measure every outside corner on the elevation and bring that number. Under-ordering corners is the most common reason a veneer job stalls mid-wall.

No. We are a materials supplier. We refer you to licensed local contractors who set stone regularly.
