Richmond Va Siding - Stone Siding

Stone Siding for Your Richmond Home

Exterior stone has been used for many decades as a home siding option. It is commonly found in the Mediterranean region but can be used across the country. There are several types of exterior stone siding options to choose from, including:
Natural stone: One of the most expensive options, it offers a high level of protection and very little maintenance is necessary.
Natural stone veneer: The biggest disadvantage of natural stone is the weight. A lighter option is natural stone veneer, which is usually just one inch thick while providing the same look as natural stone.
Manufactured or faux stone: This is made out of concrete pigments. Many people opt for this today because it’s more affordable and looks just like the real thing.
Keep in mind, the installation processes differ slightly for each type of stone siding. The most difficult and time-consuming installation process comes with natural stone, while it gets easier as you go through the options, with the easiest installation coming with manufactured of faux stone. This is also an important consideration if you have a limited budget, because when the siding is easier to install, it will also be a faster process, which means reduced labor costs.
