FAQs
How thick are your stone veneers and what do they weigh?
Stones are from 1-1/2” to 2” in thickness and weigh from 8-10 lbs per square foot. No brick ledge or added supports are needed for installation.
Will Castle Stone products fade?
The base color is blended throughout and permanent iron oxide pigments are applient and absorbed when the veneer is cast. Color becomes an integral part of the stone, and similar to natural stone, there are minimal color changes after years of weathering.
Where can Castle Stone veneers be used?
Our stone veneer products and accessories can be used for interior or exterior uses.
Do Castle Stone Products withstand the freeze/thaw cycles?
Our products are tested for freeze/thaw durability. As with any installation, making sure good building practices are in place will help ensure a successful installation.
How is Castle Stone shipped?
Is there a warranty on Castle Stone manufactured stone?
How do I determine the quantity needed for a project?
2.
Should I seal the stone?
It is not required to seal Castle Stone products. However, a sealer will provide added protection and will usually be easier to clean if the surface becomes dirty.
What are the benefits of using architectural stone veneer over natural stone?
Architectural stone gives you the same look, texture, color and shape as natural stone. Our stones are cast from the actual stone themselves, thus capturing all the detail and definition of the natural stone.
Architectural stone veneer is approximately 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of natural stone; gives you all the benefits of real stone, but at a fraction of the price.
A project using architectural stone vs. natural stone will be approximately 30-50% less expensive to complete. Because of the lightweight properties associated with stone veneers, no wall ties or footings are required to be constructed.
Stone colors can be specified to meet your needs; whereas quarried stones, in addition to having to mine mother earth for the material, may have different color variations from what you see at a showroom.
Can I apply Castle Stone veneer over brick?
Can Castle Stone veneers be installed near water?
