Ledge Stone - Aspen

How do I install this stone veneer?

Thank you for your question and interest in our stone veneer. Our installation instructions can be downloaded at https://blackbearmountainstone.com/pages/post-purchase-support. For the surface prep, which is the most important step, you will need to install a moisture barrier and then install wire lath over that. Make sure the nails or screws for wire lath hit studs to ensure a good foundation. Your scratch coat goes over the wire lath and then the stone veneer. We recommend our stone veneer and brick veneer be installed with Type S mortar. Mortar is recommended for installation opposed to an adhesive as mortar is cheaper than adhesive, and when installing with an adhesive you must hold the stone in place until the adhesive sets which really slows down installation time, whereas mortar instantly holds. Please let us know if you have any more questions!

Are corner pieces sold separately?

Thank you for your question and interest in our stone veneer. 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. On each product page there are options for both flats and corners (to the right of the main product image). Please let us know if you have any more questions!

Hello, we are planning to have a stone veneer installed on our fireplace wall and are considering your ledge stone aspen product. I have a few questions.

Thank you for your question and interest in our stone veneer. Our stone veneer is suitable for interior and exterior installations, including fireplaces.

Hello, I am building a new fireplace surround that is 6 feet wide and 8 feet tall. I put Hardie backer board down on the studs. Now I am waiting for my ledge stone aspen stone. Based on a prior fireplace surround project I was planning to use either liquid nails heavy duty (LN-903) or extreme heavy duty (LN-907). Some DIY pages say I need to use a Type S mortar with wire drilled into the cement board, then a scratch coat applied before I can even begin adhering the veneer. This seemed like overkill for a small interior project, so I am reaching out to you to see if it is acceptable to proceed with my plan of liquid nails. Thanks for the help.

I have a 230 square foot area I am going to do in stone on the outside of my new house. There is 38’ of 90 degree corners. My question is, if I order corners, how many square feet does that equate to? Right now, I have no corners in my cart, but I have added 10% waste, if I change my order to ordering the corners, what do you recommend I need for flats? What is the lead time for the stone I am looking at?
