Stacked Stone Exteriors
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.
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.
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.
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.
Using stacked stone for exterior walls should not be limited to the exteriors of buildings or to define property lines. Garden walls, terraced retaining walls, and privacy screens are all ideal applications for exterior wall stone. Norstone now makes this simple. Why settle for boring painted stucco, bland brick , or a fence that’ll need to be replaced in a few years when having a stone exterior wall is now as easy as setting tile?
