Find the right solution for your project. left to right > full bed building stone veneer, sawn thin veneer flats, sawn thin veneer corner For decades, building stone veneer has been quarried and sold as full bed (full thickness) stone ranging in depth (thickness) from 3 to 5. Full bed building stone requires the presence of a bearing shelf supported below the frost line by a footer (see inset photo, right). It is sold by the ton and typically requires the talents of an experienced stone mason for efficient and safe installation. Full bed stone continues to be a force in the marketplace today and is unmatched for its longevity, creative latitude, and ability to transcend style over time. Recent advances in diamond cutting technology have given rise to thin veneer stone - sawn facings of traditional full bed building stone veneer. Thin veneer is sold by the square foot as flats or lineal foot as corners (right angle cuts from the interior of full bed cutting stock) and does not typically require a bearing shelf. Sawn corners conceal the overall material depth and convey the appearance of full bed stone. Thin veneer is highly versatile and may be applied inside or out over brick, block, concrete, or wood framed surfaces.
