What Is Thin Brick and Stone Veneer?

Thin brick and stone veneer are real or manufactured slices of brick or stone, typically about 1 to 2 inches thick. Unlike traditional full-size materials, veneers are designed for decorative use and can be applied directly to existing surfaces without the need for full masonry support.


Veneers can be made from:


  • Real cut stone or brick (natural veneer)



  • Engineered stone or concrete products (manufactured veneer)


Despite their lighter weight, high-quality veneers deliver the same visual impact and texture as traditional materials, making them ideal for both new construction and remodeling projects.

Our Veneer Installation Process

We follow a careful process to ensure your veneer installation looks great and performs well over time:

We inspect and prepare the wall surface for proper adhesion. This includes cleaning, repairing, and applying the appropriate base material (such as metal lath or cement board) if needed.

Surface Preparation

Layout and Planning

Our team plans the stone or brick layout for optimal visual balance and minimal waste. We review color patterns, edge alignment, and joint spacing before beginning.

Application and Mortaring

Veneers are installed using masonry adhesive or mortar, depending on surface type and location. We apply each piece with care, maintaining consistent lines and tight joints.

Grouting or Pointing

For brick veneer or stacked stone with visible joints, we finish with precision grouting or tuckpointing to ensure durability and clean aesthetics.

Cleaning and Sealing

Once the installation is complete, we clean the surface and apply sealant (if appropriate) to protect the veneer from moisture and staining.
