While natural stone veneer has a timeless popularity in commercial and residential applications, its cost, weight, and availability can make it prohibitive for some projects. Natural-looking manufactured stone veneer alleviates those concerns but still requires time and experience in mortared stone installation. This course explores these options and then introduces the latest manufactured stone product, a panelized, mortarless veneer that installs with the ease, speed, and all-weather flexibility of siding. Application examples and case studies present the many options that offer a real stone aesthetic without the time, skill, and constraints required for mortared applications.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Compare natural and manufactured stone veneers and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
• Explain what mortarless stone veneer is and its benefits and drawbacks.
• Describe the differences between mortared and mortarless stone veneer installation requirements, components and methods.
• Discuss stone veneer panel options and applications.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
