Estimating How Much Stone Veneer You'll Need
Share
When planning a project with stone veneer, one of the most common questions is: how much stone do I need? Estimating the right amount can be tricky, but getting it right is crucial to avoid costly delays and material shortages. That’s where we come in! Our experts are here to help you determine exactly how much manufactured stone veneer you need for your project.
Why proper estimation matters
Ordering too little stone can leave you scrambling to find additional materials. On the other hand, ordering too much means wasted materials and unnecessary costs. By working with professionals, you can ensure a seamless and cost-effective installation process.
Factors to consider when estimating
Several factors influence how much manufactured stone veneer you’ll need:
1. Wall area: measure the length and height of each wall where the stone veneer will be installed. Multiply these numbers to get the total square footage.
2. Openings (doors & windows): subtract the area of any windows, doors, or other openings from the total square footage.
3. Corners: if your project includes corners, you’ll need to factor in corner stones. Corners are not required but they offer a professional finish by wrapping perfectly around a 90 degree outside corner. If you decide to use corners you will need to calculate the lineal feet required by simply measuring the height of all outside corners as our corners are sold by the lineal foot.
Note: on each product page there are options for both flats and corners (to the right of the main product image). Outside corners are different from inside corners. For inside corners, our flats are used. Simply run a flat piece into the corner and then a flat piece on the adjacent side.
4. Waste factor: it’s recommended to account for10% extra to accommodate cuts, breakage, and fitting.
