Stone veneer. Stone veneer is used as a protective and decorative covering for exterior or interior vertical walls and surfaces. The veneer is typically 1 inch thick and must weigh less than 15 pounds per square foot (73 kg/m2) so that no additional structural supports will be required.
Although easy to maintain, owners of a home with a stone veneer should be careful not to expose this siding to pressure washers, as it can damage the veneer. The cost of stone siding varies: natural stone costs as much as $18 per square foot, and manufactured stone veneer costs between $4 and $10 per square foot. Neither of these estimates included the added cost of installation, which can be high for such a labor-intensive material.
