Low-coursed ashlar with tumbled edges
Ashlar is squared stone in mixed lengths and low heights with tumbled edges, laid in courses. It is calmer than Classic, with lower courses and softer edges, and reads as a refined traditional stone: good on a wainscot under siding, a formal entry, or an interior wall where Ledge would be too busy.
Two colors: Desert Cream in warm cream, and Fargo Brown in browns.
Piece sizes and weight
Pieces run 6.75 to 12.5 inches long and 1.75 to 3.75 inches high. Weight is 5 to 8 pounds per square foot.
Installing Ashlar
Ashlar 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. Ashlar is laid coursed with a thin joint; the tumbled edges soften the lines.
How to order Ashlar
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.
