Crisp, chiseled, coursed
Dimensional is cut-stone veneer: squared blocks in several sizes with a chiseled face and sharp edges, laid in courses. It looks like the dressed limestone on a bank or a courthouse, at a fraction of the weight and cost. It is the profile for formal entries, office buildings, columns and any home where a traditional stone base has to look precise rather than rustic.
Three colors: Rushmore in gray, Suede in buff and tan, and Lakewood in a mixed blend. The Rushmore and Suede close-ups on the projects page show the chiseled face in daylight.
Piece sizes and weight
Pieces run 2.25 to 14 inches long and 2.25 to 6 inches high, with several heights so the courses vary. Weight is 5 to 8 pounds per square foot.
Installing Dimensional
Dimensional 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. Dimensional is laid in coursed rows with a thin, tooled joint, so the chiseled edges read crisp.
How to order Dimensional
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.
