How to Add a Stone Accent Wall?

Natural stone veneers can be added to most walls to transform them almost instantly from a plain vertical space to an eye catching center of attention. Designed to be installed over cementitious surfaces like cement board, a small accent wall is a doable weekend project that will impact the look and feel of any space in a big way.

Create a Focal Point with Lighting

Using the right kind of lighting on your Norstone accent wall stone installation will give it life. Make sure you use downward facing low-voltage light to give your installation maximum texture and dimension. Let the light wash down the stone. If you use a spot-light, you risk losing the gorgeous dimension and texture the wall was intended to provide.

Add a Finished Touch to Your Accent Wall

Hanging Art or a Television Set on a Norstone Wall is what will make your natural stone wall look finished. Using a diamond-tipped masonry drill bit, you can simply drill into your Norstone thin stone veneer. Once you’ve drilled the correct-sized hole, you can install anchor points and mounting rods which can hold any kind of art piece or painting you’d like. Indoor stone accent walls look great with adornments that contrast with stone, such as reclaimed wood and metal.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wall is best for an accent wall?

Foyers, entryways, stairways, powder rooms, and media walls are all great places for a stone accent wall. Accent walls tend to be best when they have few other competing elements like windows and doorways to detract from the impact of the stone.

How thick is a natural stone wall?

Natural stone veneer used on an accent wall will be anywhere from about .4″ to 1.75″ thick, depending on the product used. Most walls built with 18″ or 24″ on center studded walls can support the added weight of the stone up to normal ceiling heights without additional engineering or reinforcement.

Is stone wall cladding expensive?

Stone wall cladding is a reasonably priced upgrade for an accent wall and will certainly be among the most durable wall veneer products available and last many times longer than other wall covering options such as paint or wallpaper.

Do you need a foundation for a stone wall?

All Norstone natural stone veneer products weigh less than 15 lbs per square foot which means they can be installed using setting materials like polymer modified thinset. This creates a direct bond to the wall and thus the weight is transferred to the wall and foundation it is attached to, so a seperate foundation or footer is not needed for a stone veneer wall.
