Straight courses, three inches high
3" Strip Ledge takes the linear look of Strip Ledge and lays it as individual pieces, every one 3 inches high and 4 to 19 inches long. The result is a wall of dead-straight courses with a lot of variation along each course. It is the cleanest profile we make, and the one architects pick for contemporary storefronts, feature walls and modern fireplaces.
Four colors: Snow in white, Granite in salt-and-pepper gray, Charcoal in near black, and Natural with Charcoal, a tan-and-gray blend with dark pieces mixed in. The Natural with Charcoal wall on our projects page shows the profile installed.
Piece sizes and weight
Pieces run 4 to 19 inches long, all 3 inches high. Weight is 5 to 8 pounds per square foot.
Installing 3" Strip Ledge
3" Strip Ledge is an adhered manufactured stone veneer and goes on like any other: a weather-resistive barrier and metal lath over framed walls, a scratch coat, then each piece is buttered with mortar and pressed to the wall. Over concrete or block, the scratch coat goes straight onto the masonry. Keep the stone at least 4 inches above grade and 2 inches above paving, use corners at every outside corner, and follow the manufactured stone veneer installation guide and your local code. 3" Strip Ledge is laid in straight drystack courses, ends staggered.
How to order 3" Strip Ledge
Every color is its own product. Open the color, enter the wall area in square feet, and add corners in linear feet if the wall turns a corner. The order minimum is 100 square feet of flats per color; corners have no minimum and can be ordered alone. Prices are on every product page, factory-direct, with no dealer in between.
Stone is made to order in Lenexa, Kansas, and is usually ready in 2 to 4 weeks. Most customers pick up at the plant; if you cannot, we arrange freight to your address and you pay the carrier. Because every run is made for one job, orders are final sale. Order the whole wall from one run so the color stays consistent, and add 10 percent for cuts and waste.
