Installation

Can You Install Stone Veneer Over Brick?

Usually yes, when the brick is structurally sound, clean and prepared according to the veneer manufacturer's instructions — commonly a scratch coat over metal lath, or an approved bonding preparation.

Painted, spalling, damp or unstable brick is not an acceptable substrate until it is repaired or the coating is removed. Loose mortar joints should be repointed first. The added thickness affects flashing, sills and trim, so plan those details before starting. Always follow the written installation instructions for the specific veneer and mortar you are using, and check local code requirements. East Coast Landscape Supply can point you to the setting materials stocked for veneer work — call (603) 506-6300.

How Much Stone Veneer Do I Need?

Measure the wall in square feet for flat pieces, measure outside corners in linear feet, subtract openings, then add roughly 10% for cutting and waste. Flats and corners are ordered separately.

Thin Stone Veneer vs Full Bed Stone

Thin stone veneer is sawn to roughly 1 in. thick and is adhered to a prepared wall, so it usually does not need a supporting footing or ledge. Full bed stone is typically 3 to 5 in. thick and needs a footing or shelf to carry its weight.
