Frequently Asked Questions
How often will I need to reseal my stone veneer if install it outside?
This will depend on where you live and several other factors. In areas that experience warm and dry year-round climates, then you will need to reseal the veneer. We recommend that you apply a sealer every year or two so that the colors and textures will remain intact. Rain can also have an impact on the color of your stone veneer and resealing it will essentially waterproof the material.
