Selecting Your Stone

The below information is generally applicable to most instances of address stone installation

Select Stone Thickness/Depth

We sell stones in 3-5/8" and 2" depth.

3-5/8" is the general width of a brick, so these stones are made to fit seamlessly within a brick wall.

2" depth stones are great for must stone facades or thin veneer facades.

Select Stone Height & Width

The height of the Address Stone is most important , with width being left to your preferences.

Notice that Stone A fits nicely within the relative space of 3 stacked bricks. Stone B is too tall, resulting in the bottom bricks being cut oddly across the horizontal plane.

Measure your wall to see if a 5", 6", 8" or 9" stone is the best vertical fit for your exterior.
