Stone veneer adds style
If you’re sprucing up the exterior of your home with decorative doorway arches or a new outdoor fireplace surround, consider using veneer instead of full bricks and stones. They’re lighter, less expensive and a bit easier to work with. Veneer is usually a quarter to half the thickness of a whole brick or stone and can be less than half the price.
Depending on your taste and budget, you have several options when choosing among veneers:
Natural stone or brick veneer. Thin veneer is lighter-weight than full bricks or stones, so it’s easier for the do-it-yourselfer to manage during a remodeling project. Less weight also means less pressure on your structure. Plus, you can use the thin product for subtle finishing touches around doors and windows without adding bulk.
