How to Install Stone Veneer Panels (Thinstak Veneer™)

We are excited to introduce our newest natural stone educational resource, a guide on how to install stone veneer panels. Earlier this year we introduced our Thinstak Veneer™ product line. These natural stone panels are great for exterior and interior applications but it's important they are installed properly.

What's In The Guide?

As we worked on the guide we did our best to include relevant information without making it too long. We are happy with the end result but will continue to update and improve as needed. Here is what you will find inside:

  • How to Install Stone Veneer Panels
  • Suggested List of Tools & Equipment
  • How to Prepare The Surface Prior to Application
  • Installation of Corners & Flats
  • Installation Images and Other Useful Information

It will likely take you longer to read through the installation guide than it will to actually install one of the panels. Click the image below to download the guide:

One of the main reasons people work with stone veneer panels is to decrease time on the jobsite and reduce waste. Natural stone panels can be used as an alternative to cultured stone on interior and exterior projects of all sizes. We have seen them used on large commercial applications as well as small residential projects. Less labor and less mess makes for an easier project. 

Panels v. Thinstone Veneer

We don't see stacked stone veneer panels and our thinstone veneer as direct competitors. They can be used for similar applications but in some cases panels could make more sense. Ultimately it has to do with the vision of the project owner as well as cost. Earlier this year we created and shared a Spec Guide for our thinstone veneer and shared the Technical & Installation Guide created by the Natural Stone Institute.
