Stacked Stone Exteriors

Exterior Natural Stone Walls to Rock All Architectural Styles

What is Stacked Stone?

Norstone Rock Panels originated as a landscaping product. While architects and designers have found a wide variety of ways to use the product, its origins shine through when used as an exterior stacked stone. The quartz based stones make the product incredibly durable and an excellent choice for an exterior wall cladding project.

Benefits of Using Natural Stone Cladding

Norstone’s panel system allows for installers to achieve installation rates closely mirroring tile, far outpacing hand-stacked loose stone, allowing for exterior stone veneer projects to be finished more efficiently and at a lower cost.

Norstone’s XL Rock Panels, which have bigger individual stone sizes compared to the Standard Series, are well-suited for various exterior stone cladding projects that could gain from a larger and more uniform appearance across a large installation.

Rock Siding Redefined

Norstone Standard and XL Series Rock Panels are an ideal product for outside stone walls because of the high volume output made possible by the panel system along with the durability and elegance of the underlying stone.

Having an exterior stacked stone wall is now easier, more affordable, and more attractive for residential or commercial projects than ever before.

Practical Considerations

Certain things like corrosive cleaning agents, excessive salt, or other chemicals that might be present in an exterior installation can potentially harm the finish of a stone cladding project. Sealing the stone with a water-based, penetrating sealer post installation is recommended to maintain and protect the stone finish over time.
