The natural look in home design and home decor is gaining popularity, as people are become more interested in a greener lifestyle. That means you’ll probably be seeing more siding in earth tones as you drive around the Twin Cities. You might also see homeowners selecting more natural exterior building materials (or at least those that look natural, such as siding that has the look of real wood). One siding material that works well with this trend is panelized stone, like the Versetta Stone® products we install from Boral Building Products.

Veretta Stone® is a beautiful veneer that looks like genuine stone. Shown in the photo at right is one of their options – Ledgestone. There are many other styles and colors to choose from.
It come in easy-to install panels that help you add flair to the outside of your home with ease while providing the protection that your home needs from the outside elements. The elegance and grace that comes from the use of these stone panels is what many homeowners want. You can use them to make a small space your home stand out, or even a larger area. And it’s a more economical alternative to real stone.
Unlike real stonework, you can have Versetta Stone®. installed by a siding contractor rather than a stone mason. No mortar is required – installation is with screws, just like other siding materials.That in itself makes it much more economical. Plus, the lack of mortar means there’s no material to break down from our weather cycles of hot and cold or the high moisture we get at certain times of the year. Freezing and thawing in winter can cause mortar to crumble and need to be replaced. That’s not an issue with Versetta Stone®.
It comes in a variety of natural stone colors and types, and it works well with just about any other siding material. A number of our customers have chosen this panelized stone to accent sections of their homes. It’s a great way to draw attention to some part of your home you want to highlight, such as the front entry.
Is it high maintenance? Absolutely not! If dust or debris builds up, you can easily clean it with a soft bristle brush, mild detergent, and a garden hose.
